Autumn Colours Ride 1*/2* 1*
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
1:30 pm
Start Location:
Woodcote
Description:
A gentle afternoon ride of about 20 miles through the Chiltern Beechwoods to enjoy the autumn colours (weather permitting). Meet on the village green in Woodcote by the village sign (GR SU645819). We'll follow a figure of 8 route via Kidmore End and Checkendon with a short (10 minute) refreshment stop at Stoke Row at about half-way. Some gradual ups and downs but no major hills. Please bring your camera and refreshments. Lights recommended, although we should have finished by dusk.

If you fancy a longer ride, why not cycle out to join us.

Please let Steve know you are planning to come (so that we know when everyone's arrived). Woodcote is about 35 minutes drive (20 miles) from Wantage via the A417 to Streatley, Goring and Crays Pond.
