Not suitable for irregular riders.Moved to a Saturday so not to clash with the flexicare walk which is popular with club members, (especially 3* ride leaders). Change to earlier published route - so not quite so hilly. Out to Carterton taking a meandering route on the way out and a direct route back. First stop at Coleshill. Second stop Lynwood in Bampton (with Aston Pottery as a back up if too busy). Please note 9am start from Beacon |

1* Saturday Half-Day Ride to Uffington | 1* |
---|
Contact:Steve Swanton - 07857 527990 |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:Wantage Parish Church |
Description:A special themed ride to Uffington to mark the 40th Anniversary on Sunday of the death of the former Poet Laureate and Wantage resident, Sir John Betjeman. As well as living in Wantage (1951-72), the Betjeman's first family home was in Uffington before the war, making the perfect destination for a relaxed themed ride.For a change we will meet outside the parish church in Wantage and pay our respect to Sir John, whose bust stands opposite, outside the museum. We will ride out to Uffington through the springline villages, take refreshments at the Fox & Hounds PH, check out a blue plaque, then return through the vale, finishing by the Betjeman Memorial Park in Wantage. A round trip of just over 18 miles taken at relaxed pace. There may be a few verses along the way too. 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 come. |
