Regular Wantage Ride 3* Add to Calendar
Contact:
Chris Walters - 07901 827132
Start Time:
9:30 AM
Start Location:
WMP
Description:
80-100km all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, riding pace 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable.

[STOP PRESS: If the weather is poor we can choose an alternative route on the day, still heading out to Ashbury, but staying closer to home with lunch at Aston - the alternative route is here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1192125]

The original plan is a long one at 118km, heading out via Ashbury and Wroughton around the bottom of Swindon to lunch at South Cerney visitor centre, just south of Cirencester, a total of 64 hilly km before a 13:00 lunch, so make sure you are well stocked with energy bars.

Returning around Highworth and Watchfield on a much flatter route, with an option of a cup of coffee in Wantage at the end of the ride.

John Tranter - 07836 238350
Start Time:

Description:
This is a slight reworking of last year's special route into the centre of Oxford. Nice, easy pace through Charney Bassett, Appleton and Cumnor, down the hill to Botley. Then the cunning car-free entry to Oxford via bike tracks and beautiful river sides (suitable for all bikes). Private venue tea stop courtesy of St Aldates church in the very heart of the city, opposite Christchurch. Then along the river path to Iffley, Kennington and back via Sunningwell and Fyfield. 40 miles - a longer 2* ride, but easy terrain and an easy pace. Don't miss this one!

Steve Swanton - 01235 764257
Start Time:
9:30 AM
Start Location:
Bourton-on-the-Water
Description:
Update 11 May: further details now posted on CTC Oxfordshire website. See link below.

We are planning a long weekend away to Bourton-on-the-Water over the Jubilee Bank Holiday. There will be a ride out on Saturday 2nd June (3*), returning on Tuesday 5th June (3*), with a choice of rides on Sunday and Monday, one fairly short of 25 miles (2*), the other about 50 miles (3*). These rides will start in Bourton (provisionally) at 9.30am going in a NE or NW direction to explore the heart of the Cotswolds. As usual, there will be stops for coffee and lunch.

Riders are welcome to join us for the whole or part of the weekend. You may prefer to drive to Bourton, joining in our cycling programme whenever it suits you.

For those riding out on the Saturday, we will meet at Yarnton Garden Centre for coffee, and have lunch at Chipping Norton before continuing on to Bourton. It is envisaged that some people will camp while others will prefer to book a B&B. As this is Jubilee Weekend, we expect Bourton to be particularly busy and would advise early booking.

Further details on the routes to come. If you are interested in coming on one or more days please contact Steve. For further details including links for accommodation please see the CTC Oxfordshire website.
