RG7 1SD
A rolling route, but rarely steep, as we ride to Beech Hill, then Grazeley, where we will do a little loop up, then down from Burghfield Common on some lovely quiet lanes. Then up “Barking dog hill”, to Mortimer, to enjoy a big downhill to Clappers Farm Ford, and soon to Silchester for coffee at the Cricket Pavillion pop up cafe, at 16 miles. All pretty flat on the 10 miles after coffee skirting the edges of Bramley and around Stratfield Saye, back to Riseley.
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.
