| Bibury | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Jo Little |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:OMH |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. 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.A repeat of last year's ride to Bibury. Please note start time of 9am as we need to get to Coln St Aldwyn by 11.30 as the cafe closes at 12. We'll then go on to have a look at Bibury before returning, with a second cafe stop at Coleshill. This ride allows us to cycle through part of the Cotswolds but, at 715m of climbing, isn't too hilly. |

Report:We were lucky enough to have a warm, sunny day for the ride, although there was an annoying headwind on the way out. The stop at Coln St Aldwyn was as good as ever and setting off early worked well and we got there in plenty of time. Bibury was very busy and probably not worth visiting next time. The second half of the ride is more hilly but still nothing much and we arrived at Coleshill at lunch time. Despite the Father's Day crowds we were served reasonably quickly and then returned home.A really enjoyable day out and thanks to Roger and Nick for taking the wind/leading at times and to everyone for their company. | ||
