| 2* Saturday Half Day Ride | 2* |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:Old Mill Hall |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (45-55km / 30-40 miles), with a tea stop, at a riding pace of 18-20km/h (11-13mph).Heading south for a slightly hillier ride than normal, but well worth it for the lovely scenery (and the cakes). Over Hackpen Hill to Lambourn, then along the valley road to East Garston for a well earned stop at Priscilla's cafe. Then via Great Shefford to the gentle climb across towards Farnborough before we enjoy the big descent down Chain Hill. 28 miles / 45km |

Report:A pretty terrible weather forecast and heavy rain first thing in the morning put most people off (understandably). In the end, it was just Richard and me setting off into the cold and gloom. But as it turned out we got lucky and didn't get any rain at all. Certainly cold and still that nagging northerly wind that has been around for too long now.We kept up a good pace and got to Priscilla's ahead of schedule. Cake and coffee as awesome as always. Heading home was into the wind so progress was a bit slower but we made it with a smug sense of achievement! Thanks to Richard for joining me. | ||
