| CANCELLED - Santa Special | 2* |
|---|
Leader:John Talbot |
Start Time:10:00 am |
Start Location:Wallingford Market Place |
Description:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE @ 17:00 Friday With 40mm of rain and winds gusting to 45mph forecast by the Met Office for tomorrow, and with the safety and comfort of the riders of highest importance, there is no option but to cancel the ride unfortunately. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An opportunity to burn off some Xmas pud! We will start from Wallingford Market Place (SU 6073 8941). I recommend parking in Goldsmith's Lane carpark nearby which charges £3.30 for up to 8 hours on Saturdays. Plan is to cycle for about 2-3 hours to a lunchstop and then a short hop back to Wallingford well before it gets dark. Lights are strongly recommended though. Distance will be about 35-40 miles (50-60km) and there will be one moderate hill and a couple of smaller rises (nothing very demanding though). Easy touring pace of around 10-12mph average. Route will head up to Christmas Common and along the Chiltern ridge before dropping back down at Kingston Blount. We will return through small villages to Benson and back to Wallingford. Just turn up ready to start at 10:00am in Wallingford if you would like to join the ride. UPDATE :- The forecast for Saturday at the moment (Tuesday) is very poor. Please check the website in case the ride has to be cancelled. |
