Oxfordshire CTC Centenary Ride to Eynsham event	2*

Leader: Nick Portsmouth	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: As part of the celebrations for the Centenary of Cycling UK / CTC activity in Oxfordshire, this is a club ride to join the party at Eynsham. Our outward route to Eynsham is via Lyford, Fyfield and Cumnor, dropping down Tumbeldown hill to Farmoor and then crossing the Thames over Swinford toll bridge (free to cyclists). We'll aim to arrive in good time to meet up with other groups at Eynsham Village Hall for the start of festivities at 3pm. These are expected to last up to an hour. The return route is via Stanton Harcourt, Northmoor, recrossing the river at Newbridge, then climbing back into the Vale to Southmoor, over the bridleway bridge and home via Charney Bassett. Expect to be back in Grove by 5:45pm. A round trip of about 35 miles. To make this as inclusive as possible, we will ride at a steady 2* pace (12 mph, 19km/h) , but may split into groups depending on numbers. Please let me know if you are planning to ride and to help with the organisation of the event, please could you also sign up here. (This is the same form as for the century ride the day before.)
