|---|
Leader:Jo Little |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders.A familiar route out to Fyfield and Cumnor before heading to Aston pottery for the cafe stop (29 miles) then heading home up Littleworth hill and then back to Grove. A shortish ride (47 miles) and hardly any climbing should mean we get back at a reasonable time as I know everyone is very busy at this time of year. |

Report:A dry and reasonably warm (for the time of year) day gave us pleasant cycling conditions, though the headwind was tough at times. The roads were quiet and any drivers we met were considerate of cyclists and a few unfamiliar or infrequently used roads made this regular route a bit different. As it was the longest ride we'd all done for a while, we were very glad of the stop at Aston pottery. A great group to cycle with and thank you to Barry for taking the headwind for me. | ||
