Description:GroveDenchworth Hanney Steventon Sutton Courtney Appleford Didcot (via cycleway) Hagbourne Chilton (Tea at Garden Centre) Rowstock W Hendred Ginge Lockinge Grove. 55Km Route here: http://bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=88883 Note that there is the cycleway before Didcot (which I plan to take) and the short cut by Harwell (which don't but some might) which those with racing bikes might prefer to avoid. |

Report:We left while it was still raining but it stopped when we got to Drayton and, apart from a couple of minor showers, stayed reasonanbly pleasant. John Talbot joined us in Sutton Courtney and helped us navigate the Didcot maze. We actually went through East Hagbourne.to get to West Hagbourne. For the benefit of future trips the climb over the hump to get to Chilton is quite steep, 2 riders had to push. Chilton Garden centre cafe was fine. Michael left us at Rowstock corner. The remaining hills on the trip seemed easy after the Chilton humpDistance was about 34 miles. Average speed about 12mph. Time about 3hrs I think we probably did as much climbing and went as fast as could be expected of a 2* ride. I can supply a gpx file of the route we followed if anyone wants it. | ||
Distance:53.69 km (33.36 mi) | ||
