Regular Wantage Ride: Oxfordshire Century (100- mile) Ride from Wallingford	3*

Leader: Robin Tucker	Start Time: 8:00 am	Start Location: Wallingford Market Place
Description: Update 15Jul: Route now finalised (below) with tea stop in Uffington (at St Mary's Church before 5pm or at the Fox & Hounds PH if later). Coffee and lunch stops confirmed as Hermitage Garden Centre and Yew Tree Garden Centre, Ball Hill, Newbury, respectively (as in 2021). It is not too late to sign up, although too late now to pre-order lunch (order on the day). Our Annual Century Ride returns once more in 2026 – a great way to ride 100 miles in friendly company, with three refreshment stops. This year we will be starting from Wallingford and following a favourite route we have used before (last time in 2021) with just a change of tea stop in the vale. The route takes us first over the Chilterns to Pangbourne, up the Pang valley to Hermitage then south to cross the Kennett valley into the North Wessex Downs AONB. From Kingsclere we'll pass beneath Watership Down and continue through quiet leafy lanes to Kintbury. We'll turn north via Chilton Foliat, crossing the Downs in two stages through Lambourn and Seven Barrows, then down Blowingstone Hill to Uffington. We'll return to Wallingford across the vale via Steventon and Appleford. All Cycling UK Members are welcome, please contact Robin if you have any questions about whether this is the right ride for you – it is long with some significant climbs, but it is friendly and isn’t fast. Given numbers registered so far the ride will split into at least 2 groups. Registration is required for this ride via this link: Please register here. Best car park is Goldsmiths Lane, OX10 0DN. (Free on Sunday)
