Winter Breeze around Rissy

Hopefully the weather will be kinder to us this week!
This ride is ideal for getting back our post-Xmas fitness and keeping ourselves as warm as possible - not too far but with a few hills to keep us toasty!
We'll head through Milton and out of Upper Milton, getting our main climb over and done with quickly. From there it's a lovely downhill into the chocolate-box village of Taynton. As we cross into Gloucestershire, the road surface significantly improves as we begin our long hill up to Upper Rissington - not too steep but great for some steady endurance riding. After a very short stretch of A-road, we'll drop down into the Westcotes, and from there it's downhill (almost) all of the way back to Bruern. Time for some hot drinks to warm our toes back up!
