|---|
Leader:John Stamp |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:A variant of our classic Betterton loop via Kingsgrove (11 miles); the route is through several housing estates prior to exploring counrty side to the east & north east of Wantage utilizing 'cycling tracks' where ever possible.Couple of climbs but some long down hill descents to compensate. Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Our leisurely and sociable Tuesday evening 1* rides are designed specifically with adult newcomers to cycling and youngsters in mind, or those who just want some relaxed and sociable exercise. We cover a distance of 10-15 miles (16-24km) at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph (13-16kph), following quiet country lanes and the occasional easy off-road track. We stop regularly to catch our breath, to take in the views and anything that takes our interest along the way. |
