Moreton for Coffee then over the Knee

Moreton for Coffee then over the Knee We’ll need our knees working well for this one, as we face up to some hills on the Cotswold edge. The ride of just under 20 miles might take us a while, as we’ll probably be walking up a couple of the hills. But don’t be put off – we wait for everyone at the tops to enjoy spectacular views together. We’ll take the familiar route via Willington and Todenham to Moreton-in-Marsh, where we’ll refuel with coffee and cake. On the second half we face a pull up towards Batsford then on a second rise to Dorn Hill before a glorious down into Aston Magna. After crossing the Knee Brook we push on the pedals to Paxford and then follow the B roads back to Shipston. This ride will be worth the effort. I’m allowing 3 hours cycling with a half hour coffee stop. The weather forecast is looking reasonable and the temperatures are rising slightly now, but come prepared for changeable conditions at this time of year. Ensure your bike is in a roadworthy condition. A properly fitting helmet is recommended but is not compulsory.
