Breeze to Hortus Loci via Bramshill and Stratfield Saye

Please arrive in good time (9:25am) to meet and greet, we leave at 9:30am.

+++

The lovely Hobo Café at Hortus Loci Plant Centre in Hounds Green is 15.5miles in.

Turning left out of the carpark, we cycle past West Green Common, soon the (Shoulder of) Mutton pub in Hazeley and Bramshlll.

A potential loo stop at the Wellington Farm Shop (9miles).

And a lovely long gentle downhill into Stratfield Saye. Quiet lanes will take us round the back into Hounds Green and Hortus Loci.

I have added an additional 15mins to the overall duration of this ride (thus, total 3hours 20mins) in case of a queue at the café and/or interest in having a wee wander.

Back around 12:30pm

A steady, friendly pace; cycling along tidily. Unrushed. Own pace on hills. Looking out for each other. No one left behind.

Helmets are compulsory. Please also ensure that your bicycle is in good working condition (bike is clean and oiled, no squeaks, tyres correctly inflated, brakes sharp!) Bring along a spare inner tube if you are running clinchers (“regular” tyres and not tubeless tyres).
