Description: Weekly 1.5-2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. *BRIDGING RIDE* This weeks bridging ride is mainly flat with two climbs over 58k and 298 metres of climbing The aim will be to ride as a close group chatting as we speed along eating up the miles With this route in mind we will try keep the speed at the higher end thirsty work so those who wish to stop at the Fox will have earned their ÃƒÂ°Ã¯Â¿Å“Ã¯Â¿Å“Ã‚Âºrewards !! May not be suitable for those who wish to eat afterwards with last orders for food at 9:00 Weekly 1.5 - 2 hours ride at a riding pace of 25-29km/h (16-18mph). May be hilly. Optional social stop at The Fox at Denchworth at the end of the ride.
Riders: Andy Cowan Jason Jones Nick Stokell Paul Jarvis Richard Hypher Riders = 5 Report: A bridge too far,hilly and fast ! Five regular riders set of on a flat start to the ride with all taking turns on the front. Skirting Lechlade for the first hills of the ride saw the group split,Nick, Richard and Andy took the right hand fork at Coleshill waiting out of sight from tail enders Jason and myself thinking we had been dropped, sorry Jason for holding you back ! We carried on towards Faringdon on the planned route getting back to the Fox by 8:35 . The other three now lead by Nick who to his credit was on my original planned route before I posted a new reduced route at the request of the ride secretary,amended after Nick had loaded on to his Yahoo device. Apparently they encountered cows loose in the road which delayed their progress and so decided not to join us at the Fox. All ended well and with a note to ones self not to amend well made plans in future
Distance: 58.00 km (36.04 mi)
