Easy Saturday Afternoon Ride from Grove	1*

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 2:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: This month our easy ride will be heading west to Uffington for tea and cake at the Forget me not Cafe in the village hall. We'll head out via Denchworth and West Challow gently climb a tarmaced bridleway to Childrey then continue through the springline villages of Sparsholt, Westcot and Kingston Lisle, before the nice descent of Fawler hill out into the Vale and on to Uffington. We'll return via Baulking, Goosey and Asti stud, a round trip of about 18.5 miles. Monthly 16-32km (10-20 miles) family and social afternoon rides, usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs.
Riders: Barbara Lambers Ben Paine David Paine Ellie Paine John Stamp Lorna Swanton Louise Moggach Maeve Moggach Marielle Moggach Martin Hook Michael Tayler Steve Boreham Steve Swanton Riders = 13 Weather: Report: A delightful ride on a lovely September afternoon. A warm welcome to Martin, Louise, Marielle and Maeve on their first ride with us. Martin had joined us for the ride in Oxford last month and this time he brought the family along. Quite a sight to see a recumbent trike pulling a buggy. Several riders tried out Martin's 'bent and now want one for Christmas! The Forget Me Not Cafe run on Saturdays in Uffington Village Hall (not to be confused with teas in the church on Sundays) is a delight. They are very accommodating (we were able to move tables out onto the grass for our tea), the cakes are great and all served with attention to detail - china cups, cake stands and linen napkins. Recommended. See Tea & Cake list for details. Thanks everyone for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
Distance: 30.09 km (18.70 mi)
