2* Saturday Half Day Ride 2*
Leader:
John Tranter
Start Time:
9:30 am

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 slightly dodgy weather forecast and the likelihood of some standing water results in a nice simple loop around the north Vale. Out via Denchworth and Charney Bassett and over the footbridge to Longworth and Hinton Waldrist. Back via Pusey to coffee at the Stanford cafe before heading home.

20 miles / 36km

Weather:

Report:
Mixed weather forecasts in the lead up, in the end we got cloudless blue skies but with a risk of some ice in the shadows. It was particularly good to see Brian visiting from Yorkshire and Barry back after illness.

As we suspected, the road out to Denchworth was quite wet and there were a few slippery moments, but all was well and it got very slightly warmer as the day went on. We enjoyed the glorious church, pond and manor house at the back of Longworth, successfully negotiated the fairly muddy bridleway across to Hinton Waldrist and enjoyed good refreshments at Stanford cafe.

Thanks to all for a lovely morning on the bike.
