Regular Saturday Ride from Grove

Leader: David Bridge	Start Time: 1:00 pm	Start Location: GMS
Description: Regular Saturday ride of 40 to 50km with tea stop, 2 leaders to provide shorter/longer options. The main ride will go out via Goosey, Uffington, then over Ashbury hill to Lambourne, then via Wantage to Ardington Tea rooms before finally returning via Lains Barn to Grove A shorter option will also be available, riding with the main group as far as Uffington, but rather than climbing Ashbury hill, we will just potter up White Horse Hill! before continuing to join the others at the tea room
Riders: Barry Eastwood Cath Brazier David Bridge Derek Boutle Des Higgs Jan McCabe Jane Bruffell Jo Bindloss-Gibb Mavis Rose Philip Thornton-Evison Rex Belcher Robert Shaw Stephen Quartermain Steve Bruffell Teresa Belcher Riders = 15 Report: Ride went out via Uffington, where we split into two groups with David taking the longer route via Lambourn, whilst I lead the shorter route up White Horse Hill, Mavis and I started of slowly pottering up White Horse Hill to keep Jo company, as it was one of her first Saturday rides, however when she said "please excuse me, but I need to do this at my own pace" and shot off ahead of us, we realised the Jo had definately got the hang of climbing hills! Both routes went back via Wantage and on to Ardington, where we met up again at the Post Office tea rooms, and were also joined by Richard and Kevin, Wen and Tom - who had decided just to do the cafe and not the cycling! Feeling well refreshed we then completed the final few miles back to Grove Jan
