Leader:Roger Postbeschild |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Sociable rides from 24km-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 16-19km (10-12 miles) per hour. Please check website on the morning of the ride (particularly if you have forgotten to book) if the weather is poor as the ride may be cancelled.Brisk south westerly winds forecast so avoiding that as far as possible. Faringdon via Littleworth - I am advised that the Drive Thru is the nicer branch of Costa in town, so plan to try them out. Please note the route involves a short stretch of the A420 - hopefully not too busy due to the Xmas shutdown. |

Report:A blustery day, again, and only 3 riders. The wind and the festive season appear to have negatively impacted rider numbers.Still, it was dry and we even saw some sunshine. Unfortunately, the A420 proved as busy as ever but we safely negotiated the brief stretch. There was an unexpected bonus on riding into Faringdon, the Faringdon Coffee House was open, so we stopped there! The return leg was mostly either cross-wind (interesting) or tail-wind (nice). | ||
