Cotswolds Special 2* 2*
Leader:
Chris Walters
Start Time:
9:00 am
Start Location:
South Cerney - car park next to Cotswold Outdoor
Description:
All-day 85km ride in the Cotswolds. 3 distinct hills, but nothing a seasoned Hackpen ascender can't deal with.

We'll forage for lunch at a pub on the route when everyone is hungry, and the riding will be at a pace that everyone is happy with - if you can manage a longer 2* Saturday afternoon ride, then this should be an achievable step up.

Start point postcode: GL7 5TL
Start Point location: http://g.co/maps/3sba6

Please contact Chris by 14th August if you intend to come - the ride will not run without support.

Report:
A great turnout (including a few surprises) for an "away" ride. The weather was pretty overcast as we set off, later maturing into very pleasant sunshine. No incidents to report apart from losing a) a bit of a mudguard (Mila), b) a bottle cage (Nicole) and c) complete control of his bike (David B).

Lunch was taken in Malmesbury at a couple of cafes so we didn't completely swamp them en masse.

Well done to Susan who cycled her furthest ever distance and made it look easy!

Distance:
89.00 km (55.30 mi)
