Sunday ride to Benson and Checkendon

Sunday, 16 November 2014 - 9:30am

Ride report

The hilly lanes around Checkendon are about wide enough for 1 car and have grass growing down the middle – perfect cycling lanes! We all get punctures from time to time, but being distracted by a shapely bird is no excuse for riding straight into a deep pothole.
