| Autumn colours from Woodcote 1* | 1* |
|---|
Leader:Steve Swanton |
Start Time:2:00 pm |
Start Location:Woodcote village hall car park, SU645822 |
Description:Monthly 16-32km (10-20 miles) family and social afternoon rides, usually with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph). Occasional short or gentle climbs.A change of scenery this month with a seasonal visit to the Chiltern Beechwoods to enjoy the early autumn colours (weather permitting). Meet us for a 2pm start from the small car park by the village hall on the village green in Woodcote (GR SU645822) for a leisurely afternoon ride of about 16 miles. We'll follow a meandering route visiting the Maharajah's Well at Stoke Row before heading down through the woods to Sonning Common for a tea stop at the Herb Centre cafe. We'll return via Kidmore End and Gallowstree Common. Some gradual ups and downs but no major hills. Please bring your camera! Lights recommended (as it can be quite dark in the trees), although we should have finished well before sunset. 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. |
