Report:Two of us set out on this ride to Inkpen and had a great time.The weather was perfect and the views were wonderful. We followed winding, country lanes south of Boxford. They were quite narrow and gravelly at times, might be less easy to ride in winter. Both cafe stops were fine though The Baking Bee gets pretty busy at lunchtime. Not sure saying the second half of the ride is quite flat was entirely accurate, it was pleasantly challenging throughout! Kath and I had a lovely day following this beautiful route, perhaps we should do it again sometime when more people are available to enjoy it? | ||
