A ride (gran fondo) to National Herb Centre, Sun 30 May

I am thinking of a slightly longer ride this weekend to take in Tysoe Hill and Edge Hill, especially with the weather looking good and a lighter wind for the first time in a few weeks.

Proposed route is out via Charlton, Adderbury, Tadmarton, take in Tysoe Hill and Edge Hill before stopping off at the National Herb Centre. Back via Cropedy, Sulgrave and Syresham.

Length: 103km / 64 miles, with the cafe at 64km / 40 miles
Ascent: approx. 1000m / 3400 feet

Let me know if you have any comments - hopefully this ride appeals? And please sign up if interested!

Note also that we are no longer outcasts so no need to meet up at meeting point A, we will meet in the general mêlée with the other rides at Swan Pool. But please continue to bring a mask for the coffee stop.

Looks a good route will need to clear the extra time but hopefully should be able to make it

One option - depending on interest - will be to set off slightly earlier, eg 8:30 or 8:45...

@JamesT remember it’s okay now for all to meet back up the car park if you wish, I’d suggest up right of the B’s..

Thanks @PaulW!

Happy to set out a tad earlier if others are.

Happy to go out any time 👍🏼

How about we aim to get to the Swan a little earlier with the intention of setting off at 8:45?

Happy for that

OK with me.
