10-mile Club * (Midsummer Special)

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 6:30 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: As a midsummer special, our longest ride of the season, about 15-16 miles, but still at a relaxed pice (about 10 mph). We'll be heading out to Kingston Lisle by way of East Challow, Childrey and Sparshot and back via Goosey and Denchworth. There will be two stretches along the A417, 3/4 mile along the Wantage-Ashbury road and some easy off-road on the track and bridleway from East Challow to Childrey.
Riders: Amelia Preece Lorna Swanton Richard Preece Steve Swanton Riders = 4 Report: A select group of four set off on another glorious summer's evening. Heading towards Wantage we turned right at the airfield roundabout along Downsview Road and up to Segsbury on the track past CMB. Here Millie decided that she was feeling rather too tired for a long ride and so Richard and Millie opted to have their own shorter ride home. Lorna and I continued along the route as planned, following the track from East Challow to Childrey and then on to Sparsholt and Wescot. The views were superb and we took time to enjoy them. We stopped briefly by the church in Kingston Lisle, which sadly was locked up. The grass on Goosey green had just been cut as we passed through, so the annual display of wild flowers there is now at an end... Steve S.
