Off Road Ride (Short) | 2* |
---|
Leader:Robin Tucker |
Start Time:1:00 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:This will be a short and gentle paced off-road ride of 10-15 miles.The big hill, The Ridgeway, will be optional! We will set off from OMH and go down Crab Hill, then gently meander to the foot of The Ridgeway. That is where we will decide who would like to make the climb and who prefers to take a more gentle option through the woods. Aim to be back at OMH by 3pm, 4pm at latest to avoid the need for lights. |

Riders:Robin TuckerRiders = 1 Weather:Report:Perhaps thanks to Storm Brian, or perhaps because finding the ride on the schedule was a bit of a surprise, it was only me.I kept it short, up Crab Hill, Goddards Brook and Bitham Woods. Thinking it wouldn't be a fast ride, I had brought secateurs and I did some pruning of puncture-risk brambles along the way. (I may do more gardening on Bridleways than in my garden!) At the top, it started raining heavily, so I turned 180 and headed back the same way. | ||
Distance:17.70 km (11.00 mi) | ||

1* Saturday Afternoon Ride - CANCELLED | 1* |

Leader:Nick Portsmouth |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:Thomas Hughes Memorial Hall, Uffington, SN7 7RA |
Description:20/10/17 UPDATE - This ride is CANCELLED. I'll put it on again at a later date.For my 2nd away day ride (please note the later start time) I thought it would be nice to do a route from the Thomas Hughes Memorial Hall in Uffington. From there we head out up into Fernham before passing Farmer Gows Activity Farm, on through Longcot and into Shrivenham. Teasingly passing our tea stop (Bloomfields Fine Foods Deli & Coffee Shop), we then carry on to do a loop of the pretty village of Bourton before returning to Shrivenham. Suitably refreshed, we then head off, walking our bikes over a local railway footbridge on the way, towards Kingston Winslow and our main climb for the day. From there, we head to Compton Beauchamp and a lovely downhill back to the railway line before joining the road back into Uffington. A total of 18 miles. |
