Ride out to Cropedy

Parking is in Napton, anywhere near the post office (High Street), we will then head towards Priors Hardwick, wiggle our way around the HS2 roadworks and on to Claydon and Cropedy. There we will stop for refreshments before heading back via Appletree. This road does have one section which is bad for potholes but then the road improves to Chipping Warden. From there we go out towards the Welsh Road and turn back to Aston le Walls. There is a gentle descent and then we turn left and up a hill towards Upper Boddington. Over the cross roads (more potholes at the cross roads!) and on back towards Priors Hardwick. Here we turn right to Priors Marston and then left back to Napton.

Starting from near the post office in Napton, we will cycle to Cropedy. There we can have some refreshments before heading back to Napton.

Mostly back roads, unfortunately some with potholes!

At Cropedy we will stop at the cafe, plus any water stops en route.

Please check your bicycle is in good working order. A water bottle for a long the way and helmet for safety . Wearing layers is a good idea and check the forecast to see if you need a waterproof.

First-timers welcome!
