3* Sunday Shortie ++ | 3* |
---|
Leader:Sharon Bedford |
Start Time:9:30 am |
Start Location:The Beacon |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. A 2 Hour ride (24-40km / 15-25 miles), riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing likely.To mark the first day of BST I have decided to change to an extended shortie, (well more of a 2/3 day ride really!) Heading over the downs to start with so a few hills - but most of climbing is in the first half. I am out of practice so will be pacing the ride right at the lower end of the 3* pace. Cafe stop in Aldborne. |

Report:What a fab day to be out. Sunny throughout the ride, with the conditions marred only slightly by a chilly north westerly. Although this did make cycling a little tough at times we were rewarded by a wind assisted return from Shrivenham.Route seemed to be enjoyed by all and we found some lovely quiet lanes without much traffic. Also they were in better condition that anticipated after the wet winter. Lots of spring flowers on show and other cyclists out. Cafe stop was very welcome by the time we got there. Food was great albeit a little slow to emerge. But we didn’t mind as we were in the sunshine and were involved in lots of cycle chat. | ||
