Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:OMH |
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).A re-run of a classic Oxford ride - using the shortest possible route into and back from central Oxford. A combination of cunning cut-throughs, riverside paths and insider knowledge. We will have a VIP coffee stop at St Cross College in the heart of the city. Just over 40 miles at a steady 2* pace |

Report:With an uncertain weather forecast I wasn't sure if anyone would be motivated to join me, but in the event a nice group assembled and we were rewarded with increasingly sunny conditions as the ride went on.All went smoothly with the route and I was relieved to see that the floods had receded sufficiently for the riverside paths to be used. We indulged in some tourist moments around the town before coffee and cake at Taylors and a quick pop into St Cross College. We then headed north along the excellent Oxford Canal towpath, around Port Meadow, up Cumnor Hill and home. Thanks to all for a fun morning and for coping so well with a longer than usual 2* ride. | ||
