A recent ride
Sun 13 May, 2018
Definitely worth the effort, driving out to start in the heart of the Cotswolds. We were able to offer 4 lifts and 2 more came by train, conveniently arriving in Moreton-in-Marsh at 9:54. Beautiful day, beautiful views, a 15 minute pause to rescue riders who went ahead off route, followed by a dramatic ford crossing (see photo). Only 1 steep climb (14%) but several long drags of 8% which we are not used to the Oxford area, but which are followed by fabulous equally long descents. Full details »
