Text 07554 664120 This ride is at the longer end for a shortie ride 34.6 miles, but you’ll be glad to know that it is a relatively flat ride only 736ft of elevation gain. A scenic route passing over The River Thames twice. I’ll aim to have a quick coffee stop at Aston Pottery. We’ll leave Grove & head out through Charney Bassett passing through Southmoor, Standlake, Shifford, Aston, Clanfield, Faringdon, Hatford, Denchworth arriving back in Grove for around 12:30pm
Riders: Barry Stanton Joy Arthur Roger Postbeschild Riders = 3 Weather: Report: I picked up this ride from Eddie as he was, unfortunately, unwell. The proposed route was duly followed, including a stop for coffee at Aston Pottery. This proved to be very well timed as we got in before The Phoenix, Abingdon Freewheelers and sundry others arrived! A very select group of three riders - I don't lead many 3 star rides but a decent (unassisted) pace of 23.2 kph was maintained. Joy and Barry waited for me after the only hill up into Faringdon though! A thankfully rain and wind free ride.
Distance: 55.50 km (34.49 mi)
