Description: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. This is a pre-bookable ride only. To book your place please text the ride leader no sooner than the Monday before the ride. All-day touring ride (80-100km / 50-65 miles), 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.WEATHER UPDATE 15 May: The weather is not looking promising for Sunday and we will take a final decision on the ride by 8.30 on Sunday morning. If the weather is wet but rideable, our current Plan B is to do a half day ride with one stop (either Coleshill or Stanford-in-the-Vale) that has plenty of places we can quickly return to Wantage from, see: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36038877 Hopefully there will be no need to cancel the ride altogether. NB ride updated on 9/5/21: A relatively flat, 100km all day ride. Along the Springline and out to Highworth before taking some lovely roads (and almost roads) to Fairford. An early stop for takeaway from Lynwood before heading up to pretty villages before making our way back via Aston Pottery for a second stop and thence to Wantage. Expect to be back mid-afternoon. |

Report:Well were we lucky with the weather today! Having had backup plans for a shorter ride or cancelling due to the wet forecast, we got away with a bit of light drizzle in the morning and a couple of heavy showers in the afternoon. Result Beautiful part of the country; really good food from Lynwood Fairford; a chance to catch up with some of the second 3* group and a great bunch of riders on our group: you really are living the dream as leader on such a ride. Oh and someone spotting I had dropped one of my spare gloves that Andy then went and retrieved for me. Luck was definitely with us today  | ||
