Breeze around Taynton

A reverse route of the morning ride, for those of you doing both, it's interesting to see how a route can differ just by changing direction! This time we will start off by heading down through Milton, then Upper Milton, before warming our legs and lungs up on Quarry Hill. Then it's straight down again through Taynton before heading across the bumpy road to Great Barrington. We will then tackle the long climb up to Upper Rissington - although it begins steeply, and is long, after the first section the gradient becomes more forgiving. Popping the bikes into a nice easy gear, we will make our way up at a very steady pace. It's a great section for building up some endurance. The good news is from Rissington the way home is nearly all downhill! After a very short stretch of main road, we will drop down into the Westcotes, then along the valley through Icomb and Fifield, before our final decent back down to Bruern. Hopefully we will back in time for a quick cuppa before the cafe shuts!
