Climbing almost inevitable.NB: Ride starts at 9am A trip up to the Downs and then on to the Thames, using cycle tracks where they are suitable for all bike types . We'll have a brunch stop at the Hampstead Norreys Community shop early in the ride then a late lunch / coffee stop at Savages in Blewbury. Hilly in the first part and much less so once we reach the Thames. Don't be put off by the hills, you'll all be waiting for me . |

Report:A glorious autumnal day, plus fab company and a route created with the assistance of heat maps and the google man made for an outstanding day of cycling. Few tweaks needed to the route (won't do the so-called cycle path from Blewbury to Upton again!) but otherwise this was a days cycling that will linger positively in the memory | ||

Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Jenny Gower John Groves Karl Blake Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Terry Penn Riders = 9 Report:A fine morning for a cycle ride. I decided to add a little variety and incorporated the best cake stop in the Vale at the Uffington Farmers market, thanks Chris wonderful as ever!With a good turn out of 9 riders, we headed out via the Letcombes and Childrey, dividing into 2 groups as necessary. We then rode through Westcott and down to Kingston Lisle and Uffington. With a number of interesting stalls and some marvellous refreshments we had a leisurely stop and chatter- so good to catch up with Terry and Jenny. Once we had refuelled we rode back via Uffington Village, through Shellingford , Charney Basset and Denchworth home. Some of us then took the liberty of a second coffee stop at Parsons, cheeky but nice! Thanks for the company. | ||
