Climbing almost inevitable. Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders.A familiar route out to Fyfield and Cumnor before heading to Aston pottery for the cafe stop (29 miles) then heading home up Littleworth hill and then back to Grove. A shortish ride (47 miles) and hardly any climbing should mean we get back at a reasonable time as I know everyone is very busy at this time of year. |

Report:A dry and reasonably warm (for the time of year) day gave us pleasant cycling conditions, though the headwind was tough at times. The roads were quiet and any drivers we met were considerate of cyclists and a few unfamiliar or infrequently used roads made this regular route a bit different. As it was the longest ride we'd all done for a while, we were very glad of the stop at Aston pottery. A great group to cycle with and thank you to Barry for taking the headwind for me. | ||

Riders:David JacksonDes Higgs Roger Postbeschild Roger Turnbull Stephanie Haddrell Susie Turnbull Riders = 6 Report:Great to be out with good company on a dry day! We had a head wind for the outward journey to the Cantorist which was hard work but no incidents and the coffee and cake was worth it, and the return journey a breeze! In view of road closure at Mellors we redirected and took the route back to the A417 from Childrey and rejoined the planned route at circuit road. A lovely morning culminating in a coffee at Costa! | ||
