Valley views ride (beginners)

With the Lyneham Road still closed, this is an alternative route for those of you wanting to build up your skills and confidence. Although 10 miles is a little bit longer than we have done before, this is a very doable route, with mostly gentle ups and downs, and we will be going at a very steady pace throughout. It's always good to tick off that "10 miles" target! Riders are very welcome to walk up any hills they find challenging - it's all about just getting to the top! The downhill towards Bould is great for building confidence and we will talk beforehand about how to tackle it safely. But the views from the top are beautiful! There is also the option of a coffee/tea/cake break halfway round at Bledington shop/cafe. Otherwise, we will have our usual refreshments at the end at Bruern Farm Shop. This should be a really fun, social ride, taking in some quiet country roads and some beautiful countryside.
