Description:Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph). Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months.A ride of 35 miles / 56km to the west, via Hatford, Shrivenham and Bourton to a coffee stop in Ashbury. Then an easy route home through the Vale. |

Report:At the third attempt we finally made it! The weather was good in spite of poor forecast, just a period of slight drizzle for a few minutes, we struck it lucky.We took a slight detour to Bourton as the usual route has deteriorated (the road is almost unrideable).. On the return we took another detour through Kingston-Winslow, I found a road that Roger hadn't been down! The views from the spring line were excellent with clear views across the vale. Rogers front mech decided to misbehave, but he soon put it right and no other mechanicals. A really good ride with a very good group. Thank you all. | ||
