A small group of four braved a route which featured a lot of climbing in the first half with a fairly flat second half. The ride commenced under blue skies but with the knowledge that rain threatened the second half of the ride. The route went through Moreton Paddox, Kineton, Little Kineton, Tysoe, Tysoe Hill, Shutford, Wigginton, Hook Norton, Whichford (with a stop for lunch at the Whichford Pottery cafe), Cherington, Bermington, Honington, Tysoe, Little Kineton, Moreton Paddox and Wellesbourne. We rerouted the finish to avoid the flooding on Walton Road. The weather gods smiled upon us as we only had one brief shower on the outbound route through Tysoe and ended with blue skies and sunshine.
49 Miles. 15.6 MPH. 2604 feet of climbing.
