25 miles FBC to Hartley Whitney

Leaving FBC we head over to Farley Hill, Swallowfield, round the back of Wellington country park, Mattingley to the church at Harley Whitney for coffee and cakes.
Our return is via Hazeley, up Plough Lane, keeping on the road to go through Bramshill to the ford at the New Mill and along Park Lane and Nine Mile Ride back to FBC.

Most of the route is on lanes with a couple of short stretches on a main road.

We will stop at the church in Hartley Whitney where they serve great coffee and lovely homemade cakes☕

Please ensure your bike is in good working order, tyres correctly inflated, it will make cycling easier, brakes working, and chain oiled. Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please also bring a bottle of water, money/card for the coffee stop, spare inner tube, and bike lock if you have one. The ride is listed as STEADY because of the undulations so unsuitable for those who are just starting out. Please aim to arrive 10 mins before our start time so that we can do a quick bike check, and get under way on time.
