NB: Ride starts at 9am A trip up to the Downs and then on to the Thames, using cycle tracks where they are suitable for all bike types . We'll have a brunch stop at the Hampstead Norreys Community shop early in the ride then a late lunch / coffee stop at Savages in Blewbury. Hilly in the first part and much less so once we reach the Thames. Don't be put off by the hills, you'll all be waiting for me .
Riders: Andy Pixton Eddie Little Jo Little John Tranter Katherine Boyce Riders = 5 Weather: Report: A glorious autumnal day, plus fab company and a route created with the assistance of heat maps and the google man made for an outstanding day of cycling. Few tweaks needed to the route (won't do the so-called cycle path from Blewbury to Upton again!) but otherwise this was a days cycling that will linger positively in the memory
