Report:A scenic ride mostly on country lanes or tracks with stones, so not recommended for road bikes with narrow tyres.The A417 from Rowstock Corner wasn’t conducive for 1* ride so took the track linking Rowstock Corner to East Hendred. It was badly rutted for most of its length; very leisurely pace required. Average speed 6mph incl coffee stop. Ride is saved in 1*star ridewithgps but couldn't obtain a URL reference. | ||
Distance:27.36 km (17.00 mi) | ||
