|---|
Leader:Eddie Little |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:Old Mill Hall |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).This is one of my favourite rides, keeping away from major towns & sticking to quiet cycling routes. A relatively flat route with only one climb towards the end of the ride. From Grove we’ll head out to Denchworth passing through Southmoor, Northmoor, Stanton Harcourt, Yelford & Cote. We’ll stop at Aston Pottery for our elevenses. Once refreshed we’ll take the cycle route along Great Brook passing over the Thames at Tadpole Bridge. Then as promised, our one & only climb of the day Buckland Hill. Expect to be back in Grove for around 01:30pm. Ride distance 35.02 miles/56km. |

Riders:Barry StantonDavid Bridge David Jackson Des Higgs Eddie Little John Tranter Louise Bowers Steve Swanton Riders = 8 Weather: Report:It was really nice to reuse this old route, taking us through some lovely quiet country lanes & giving some great views of the Thames. Drivers were very considerate & pulled in when required to let us pass. We all enjoyed our refreshment stop at Aston Pottery, where we all tucked into some delicious freshly baked scones, along with tea’s & coffees. Service was as usual excellent, along with some spectacular flower borders. On the return journey the A420 proved to be a little challenging to cross. Thanks to Des for leading a second group when required. A nice ride with excellent company & no issues. Hopefully see you all on another ride soon. | ||
