The group was split in two from about the start, a faster group going through Option B (gathering with Lambourne members at Ashbury then joining the first group for tea ), the core group going through Option A.Route details: there were two routes. Option A is flat and short (28 miles approximately). Option B contains one serious hill (Compton Beauchamp) and some few smaller bits of hill, and is longer (36 miles estimated). Both options: Grove MS, Denchworth, Lyford, Charney Bassett up to B4508 where left. B4508 through Hatford, X-road with A417, Shellingford, Fernham, Longcot. Option A: Straight on from Longcot to Shrivenham on lane, and teastop at Shrivenham (Barrington Arms pub). Option B: From Longcot, left towards Compton Beauchamp. Right on X-road with B4507 on top of the hill, through Ashbury. Straight on at X-road with B4000 through Idstone and Bishopstone. At Bishopstone, at the phone box, take right (beware: steep corner), and straight on into Bourton then Shrivenham. Teastop in Shrivenham, same place and timing as Option A above. Both options: After the tea, take B4508 direction Longcot. At Longcot take right direction Uffington. Go through Uffington, and then left direction Baulking. Straight on through Baulking up to X-road with A417. Right on A417 and first left to Goosey, then Denchworth, then Grove. One rider (Claire J.) missing between | ||
