| 3* Saturday Hilly Half Day Ride to Yattendon | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Joy Arthur |
Start Time:9:00 am |
Start Location:The Beacon |
Description:Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day ride (60-70km / 38-45 miles), with a tea stop, riding pace of 20-24km/h (13-15mph).Lots of climbing on this 1/2 day ride but the rewards are delicious cakes at The Pantry, some quiet country roads after coffee and its not even 60km. |

Report:After a slightly chilly start it warmed up to be a glorious sunny morning, a perfect day for a ride.The Pantry was an excellent coffee stop in Yattendon with a great array of cakes. We rather enviously watched some eggs Benedict being served to other customers and resolved a return for brunch should be made. When planning this ride I had concentrated so much on all the climbing I had forgotten how many lovely long descents there were so they were a bonus and overall we seemed to make light work of the hills. A challenging but very enjoyable ride with a lovely group, thanks everyone! | ||
