A challenging route, but fabulous rewards for all our hard work. Gradual climbing for the first few miles as we make our way to Kidmore End, then via Goring Heath to Greenmoor Hill. With all the work done for now, the next 2.5miles is all downhill! It can't last forever, so we now regain our height via South Stoke Road up to Woodcote, where it levels out as we ride another couple of miles to Checkendon and to the Blue Tin farm shop (at 17 miles). Refreshed with sausage rolls and cake, an enjoyable downhill now through several miles of Beech lined lanes to Sonning Common. A final little climb to Binfield Heath, and soon back to the start.

Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please check your bike the night before, chain oiled, tyres fully inflated (makes it easier!), and always carry a spare inner tube suitable for your tyre size. And preferable two! And a pump which you know fits your valve.

We especially welcome newbies!
