It's been a while since we got out for a ride, but the weather is looking more favourable (well, at least for December!) so fingers crossed that we will get out this weekend. It is a fairly straightforward route, not too long, to get us back into it. The current weather forecast is cool, cloudy but dry.
Initially heading NW to Greatworth, our cafe destination is the Grain Store at Middle Aston, chosen both for the prevailing wind direction (a tail wind from from the W for the ride home) and that typically should have have enough space to accommodate us inside. Note that the ride is slightly front-loaded.
The route is taken from our cafe map route library:
Distance: 48 miles / 77km, with the cafe at 28 miles / 45km
Ascent: 2000 ft / 600m
Speed: 17+ mph (no dropped riders)
Our speed will probably be to the lower end of our typical range given time off the bike and is welcome to any current, aspiring or lapsed A riders - no dropped riders!
Hope to see you on Sunday - please click the link the "I'm Attending" button above if you'd like to join.
