Description: Social rides up to half day - 32km (20 miles), usually with a cafe stop, at a riding pace of 16-20km/h (10-12mph). Please check website on the morning of the ride if the weather is poor as it may be cancelled or the start time changed. I plan to head out towards Harwell, a new route for me so a slight adventure, thank you to Roger Turnbull for advice who i met when checking this route out. After climbing past Lains Barn we will pick up the cycle route 544 through to Harwell and around the site, stopping for coffee at the new cafe on the campus. We will return to Grove through Steventon, Cow Common, Hanneys and Denchworth.
