A roundabout route to coffee at Waterperry followed by a loop out to Haddenham GC for lunch. Returning on part of the Phoenix Trail or road alternative depending on the weather……. A few bumps along the way but no major hills.

The map is an embedded link from Ride with GPS. You can zoom in to see the route in as much detail as you like. For example, you can zoom in (using the + sign) to see exactly where the start is.

Ride report

A ride into a stiff headwind for the first half with welcome stop to restore energy for coffee and cake at Waterperry. Eight riders continued to Haddenham GC for a good lunch at a stretched cafe. A welcome tail wind helped us home via Wheatley and Horspath with the odd glimpse of sunshine.
