A ride to Farthinghoe via Lower Heyford, Sunday 4 April

Placeholder for A ride on Sunday, route yet to be decided but probably heading south. Any suggestions for take-away cafe stop gratefully received! (but ride leader's choice is final!!)

Please can you click [Yes, I'm attending!] above if you are coming.

Pace will probably be lower end of normal range (c.17mph) - I know some of you have been training hard, others less so, and I am not sure how quick I will be! But it should be good to get out for a group ride.

Meeting point A, which is just to the left of the entrance to the Swan Pool car park. Please remember to socially distance (esp. meeting up and at any stop we make) and bring a face mask for the take-away.

Hope to see you on Sunday!

OK, here's the route. We head SW from Buckingham to Stratton Audley, via Middleton Stoney to Lower Heyford, then north through the Astons. We have a brief stint on the B4100 from Souldern to Anyho, then via Charlton to a stop at Limes Farm drive through takeaway. Change of plan (thanks @Malman) to avoid road block: carry on through Greatworth to the Syresham Road, on to Syresham and back along Welsh Lane to home.

Length: 49 miles / 78km, with the stop at 33 miles / 54km.
Ascent: approx 500m / 1700 ft.
Pace c.17 mph (no dropped riders).

Reminders: bring a mask, socially distance, meeting point A, click I'm Attending if coming.

Hope to see you on Sunday!

James, you won't be able to go from Evenley to Finmere via Belgian Fields, better to head for Fringford after Evenly. Or loop round to Helmdon?

Thanks @Malman, how quickly I forgot!

Morning James, I have withdrawn my attendance - bit too chilly for my liking 😁 I will go out later when it's warmed up.
