For the A ride this week we will head out to the Grain Store at Middle Aston. The route is front-loaded meaning a shorter return if the weather does turn wet; there is also an option to bail out early via Charlton if we need it - but current forecast seems dry. I've also ended the route at the Crown in Gawcott if anyone fancies a drink to finish.
A possible issue is that the road from Bucknell to the B4100 may be closed - if so we will need to divert towards Bicester and around Lords Lane (Bicester western ring road).
Distance: 53 miles / 86km (to Gawcott), with the cafe at 34 miles / 55km
Ascent: approx. 2300 ft / 700m
Speed: 17+mph (no one dropped)
Bring refreshment and maybe some nutrition (noting the distance to the cafe stop).
