1* Saturday Half Day Ride 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
1:00 pm
Start Location:
OMH
Description:
A ride heading out eastwards to Ginge and back to Wantage for a refreshment stop in town. We'll go out via Kingsgrove (pick-up by the Kingsgrove cafe by arrangement) first climbing Crab Hill (aka Benchworth Hill) on the new cycletrack before continuing on to Ardington and Ginge on the Icknield Greenway. From Ginge we'll return to Wantage through Lockinge for refreshments at the Vale and Downland Museum. After refreshments we'll return to Grove following some back routes through Stockham. A round trip of 14 miles or so with a few short ups and downs to keep us warm and get our legs working.

Our regular social and family ride on the third Saturday of the month, usually with a cafe stop. We cover 16-32km (10-20 miles) at a leisurely pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph), tackling the occasional hill (nothing too long) and easy off-road track (conditions permitting). Please let the ride leader know if you are planning to ride.
