Christmas Escape Route - Reindeer Ride

By Saturday 17th December we’ll probably need to have some time out and escape the preparations for half a day; so let’s have some pre-Christmas fun on this ride and put reindeer antlers on our helmets or bikes! The 17 mile gently undulating route takes us out from Shipston through Honington, Idlicote and Halford to Talton Mill for our halfway coffee+ stop. The Talton Mill Farm Shop and cafe does a lot of business at Christmas time, so we’ll need to let them know our numbers in advance. Please sign up early and let me know if you’d like to come. (Some people are experiencing difficulty registering for rides on the Breeze web site. If that is you, don’t worry. Just let me know and I can sign you in retrospectively.) The return route is via Crimscote, Ilmington and Darlingscote. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for a pleasant Winter ride, but have an eye on the weather forecast and come prepared. Make sure your bike is in a roadworthy condition, check the brakes and tyres. Daytime lights are not legally required but might be advisable in gloomy conditions. Wearing a helmet is not compulsory, but is recommended, as long as it is properly fitted. Do get in touch if you have any queries. Caroline and I look forward to seeing lots of you for this last ride of 2016. Jacey. 01608 661288 07762 358466
