| CANCELLED - Regular Wantage Ride | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Nick Stokell |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:Update Sunday 0700: RIDE CANCELLED. Looking at the Wantage and Chiseldon forecasts there is no change in the timing and the wind will only decrease below 20 mph after 1300. Sorry about that! Thank you to Richard (Pethybridge ?) for alerting me yesterday - I had been inside all day on DIY!Update at Sat 2030: Currently winds of 20-25 mph with higher speed gusts are forecast. I will consider possible route changes, check the weather early tomorrow and post a decision by 0830. Nick Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. No quite to Barbury Castle! This is a variant on David Smith’s November 2013 ride to Barbury Castle. This time we will avoid the up and back to Barbury Castle (forestalling possible mutiny!) in favour of a trip out to Coleshill on the homeward leg. Relatively hilly on the way out (should keep us warm) and some steepish (but mercifully short) lumps at Badbury Clumps and Fawler to test out tired legs. There are options to shorten the return route if the weather is particularly grim or we are running late – nevertheless at this time of year lights should be carried. Since the lunch stop is early (Three Trees Farm Café at 38.5 km) I am not planning a coffee stop so snacks may be needed. The envisaged route is: Wantage – Letcombes - Lambourn – Baydon – Aldbourne – Ogbourne St George – Chiseldon – Liddington – Wanborough – Shrivenham – Coleshill – Faringdon – Fernham – Uffington – Kingston Lisle - Wantage 20 km/h touring pace, should see us back in Wantage between 1500 and 1530. |
