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.Over the Berkshire Downs to Hungerford for a coffee stop and then over to Ashbury for a late lunch before dropping down into the Vale for the return. A shorter than average Sunday ride but suitable for December and surprisingly low climbs considering we cross the Ridgeway there and back! |

Report:Sadly Barry had a mechanical and couldn’t make it. With just Andy and I and time running out before Christmas, we shortened the ride. Glad we did as the return into an annoying headwind was leg sapping!The lunch stop at Ashbury was well worth the wait. The Baking Bee is a perfect cyclists cafe: really good coffee and food, with very good quick service 😊 | ||
