Tuesday Evening 10-Mile Club Rides Restart | 1* |
---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:6:30 pm |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:The first of our leisurely and sociable 10-mile club rides of the season, 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 about 10 miles at a gentle pace of 8-10 mph, 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.Our first ride will be an out-and-back route via Denchworth to the village of Goosey with its large open green, a total distance of about 9 miles. It can be chilly in the evening shadows along the lanes in April, so an extra warm layer and gloves are recommended. |

Report:A select group of 3 for our first 10-mile club outing of the season. A warm welcome to Joy on her first ride with the club.The grey clouds and distant showers looked ominous as we cycled out towards the railway bridge. But our luck was in. Apart from a few drops as we left Denchworth, it stayed dry and the sun even came out at Goosey. A smooth ride, we took our time and stopped to look at the memorial on the side of the Fox PH in Denchworth and made a brief exploration of the churchyard at Goosey. Back in Grove well before dusk. | ||
Distance:12.87 km (8.00 mi) | ||
