3 Trees Via the Bournes

From Shrivenham we take the road to Bourton and Foxhill and then to Aldbourne. from here we take a backroad before getting to the top of snap hill for a fast but careful descent Into Ogbourne St George. we then follow another back road through Draycott Foliat to bring us to our well deserved coffee stop at the Three Trees where their new cafe should be open for takeway. after being suitably refreshed we make our way back to Fox Hill and then home. Just over 27 miles and 1300 feet of ascent later. see the elevation profile

This is our ride to the popular Three Trees in Chiseldon but in Reverse which means we don't have to go up the notorious Snap HIll

The route is almost entirely on B or unclassified roads

WE will get a take away from the the Three Trees Cafe

Please bring a face mask; you have to wear it on entering a café and in the event of first aid being required. For all our rides you should bring at least a spare inner tube and a pump. If your wheels are bolted on then a spanner that fits the nuts is also essential. Helmets are not compulsory but most definitely recommended. You should dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing your mobile phone along with cash or debit card for the coffee stop. Some café’s only take card payments.

We welcome new comers to our ride group, but we want you to enjoy the ride so please consider the route, distance and terrain. If this ride is likely to be a bit difficult then check out our other rides which we put on for newbies and returners and join us on something easier
