Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely.A short but hilly ride. Up Chain Hill and around the downs before visiting Court hill for a cafe stop. We'll then ascend Hackpen before looping back to Wantage. Please note start time of 9am |

Report:A headwind, the heat and the humidity, as well as the hills, made this a tougher ride than expected. We enjoyed the views as we went round and were very glad of the cafe stop at Court Hill. We then decided not to go up Hackpen but to cycle for a few miles in the Vale. An enjoyable ride despite the weather. | ||
