Quite a strong SSW wind is forecast (but otherwise warm and dry) so opted for a route that should maximise the tail wind home! Heading out via the Claydons and a few bumps at Waddesdon, Ashendon and Chilton. Then a loop south before summiting at Brill via the Oakley climb - and where we will try out the coffee van by the windmill for the stop. (Fallback option is the pub.) Then up and down Muswell Hill and freewheel home.
Distance: 51.5 miles / 83km, with the stop at 33.5 miles / 54km
Ascent: approx. 2400 ft / 720m
Speed: 17+ mph
Please sign up if you fancy it - should be fun!
Note the front-loaded route so please bring any nutrition/drink you need.
