WOMEN'S TOUR SPECIAL - Easy Ride from Wantage
Event description
Inspired by the Women's Tour of Britain which passes through Wantage the day before, and to mark Bike Week 2022, this is a leisurely bike ride from Wantage suitable for families, newcomers to cycling or those who prefer a relaxed, sociable ride. A chance to ride with a group and discover some of the local cycle routes on our doorstep.
We'll follow a back cycling route out of town to East Challow and then the bridleway to Childrey, which has great views to the Downs and across the Vale. From Childrey, we'll drop into the Vale (with a short stretch along the A338 ) to Goosey with its large village green. We'll continue along quiet lanes to Denchworth and Grove, then pick-up the cyclepath along the A338 and use back roads through Charlton to bring us back to the Market Place.
A total distance of 23km (14 miles), taken at a gentle pace (10 mph), stopping to take in the views and points of interest along the way. Optional refreshment stop in Wantage at the end of the ride (but please bring a drink with you).
Please let Steve know by text if you would like to come. Suitable for children 8+ who are confident in riding on the road, accompanied by a parent.
