Leaving Grove we’ll head out to Denchworth, then passing on through Charney Bassett, Buckland, Great Brook, Shifford, Standlake, Southmoor, West Hanney, Denchworth & back home to Grove. Ride distance, 28 miles/45km. Heatwave update Monday July 18th. If the temperature stay’s high then I propose to change to an alternative shorter flat 19 mile route, Charney Bassett, Hatford, Shellingford, Fernham, Baulking, Goosey, Denchworth. If things get uncomfortable en route then I can reduce this ride to 15 miles! Please remember to bring plenty of fluids!!
Riders: Andy Pixton Chris Bailey Clare Hazell Eddie Little Glyn Brooks James Bosley Joy Arthur Katherine Boyce Sharon Bedford Riders = 9 Weather: Report: The first half of the ride was hot & humid. The road surface between Denchworth & Hatford was starting to melt which made things a little difficult at times. Once we had crossed over the A417 at Shellingford the road surface was much better & the humidity vanished leaving us with a cooler head wind for our return leg home. A nice group to lead! Many thanks to Andy for sweeping.
