1* Mince Pie Ride - merged with 2* ride 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
10:00 am
Start Location:
WMP
Description:
SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE - THE RIDE IS ON!

Our annual festive ride, which again is in aid of Whizz-Kidz, the children's mobility charity, and the culmination of this year’s White Horse Cycle Challenge (9 Nov-8 Dec). Ride out with us to the NT car park at White Horse Hill, Uffington, for mince pies and mulled wine.

Please text me if you would like to join the 1* ride. You will receive confirmation.

Meeting from 9:50 for briefing for a 10:00 start, the 1* ride will be a sociable ride at a leisurely pace leaving after the other groups. Pick ups along the route by prior arrangement.

We will follow a relatively direct but undulating route through the springline villages before we turn up the big hill. Even if you can't make it all of the way up awheel, the views across the manger and the Vale are breathtaking and worth the push. We'll regroup at the top before taking the gentle descent down into the main NT car park to meet up with the other groups. ETA 11:20am.

After the gathering we will descend to Woolstone and return across the Vale via Uffington, Baulking and Goosey. The ride will formally end at the Fox PH in Denchworth (see separate entry for lunch details) from where it is a 2-mile ride back to Grove and 4 to Wantage (20-mile round-trip).

windy (fine)
Report:
Given the windy conditions, we decided to merge the three rides together, taking the most direct route to the hill. Please see 2* report for details.
