Description:As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. Sociable rides from 24km-40 km (15-25 miles) at a pace of 16-19km (10-12 miles) per hour. Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as the ride may be cancelled or the start time changed. This is a pre-bookable ride. To book a place, text your name to the ride leader no earlier than 9:00am on the Monday before the ride. You will receive confirmation or be advised that the ride is fully booked. A reserve list will be maintained.Starting from the Beacon we will head out through the Letcombes and then up Hackpen Hill (slowly and waiting for everyone at the top!). We will then take the lovely route over Seven Barrows before returning to Wantage through Kingston Lisle, Goosey, Denchworth and Grove. 21.7 miles with climbing, but taken at a steady pace. Please note: the route map shows us starting at Grove, but the start will be at the Beacon in Wantage. |

Report:This has to be one of my favourite rides and it didn't disappoint today. The climb up Hackpen was rewarded with great views into Lambourn and through Seven Barrows followed by the descent of Blowingstone, which was thrilling as always.Warm, sunny weather and good company made this an enjoyable ride. Thanks everyone. | ||
