Back-on-your-Bike Ride 2021	1*

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 2:00 pm	Start Location: OMH
Description: This is a pre-bookable ride only. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Monday before the ride. The Back-on-your-Bike ride is our annual spring invitation ride aimed at those who haven't been cycling much over the winter and want to dust off their bike and get the pedals turning again, or those that would like to try out a group ride for the first time. This year it is a welcome opportunity to bring along family and friends and invite the many newcomers to the area. All are welcome. Please note that children need to be accompanied by a responsible adult. The ride will follow an essentially flat route around the lanes of the Vale of White Horse visiting the pretty villages of Lyford, Charney Bassett and Stanford-in-the-Vale, a round trip of about 15.5 miles in total but with some short-cut options for those who would prefer a shorter outing. We'll have a refreshment stop on the Church green at Stanford - please bring a snack and a drink to slake your thirst.
