RIDE CANCELLED DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER FORECAST - NO REAL PROSPECT OF ANY ENJOYMENT TO BE DERIVED FROM RIDING!
NOTE - PARK AND RIDE - DON'T TURN UP AT THE BACK OF THE CO-OP IN WELLESBOURNE!
Leader - Steve Kirk
It's a PARK & RIDE following the Bards Ride course (I have unfinished business with this event as most of you know ?) starting from Honington at the usual time.
Parking is limited in Honington, so PLEASE park considerately. An alternative would be to park in Tredington or Shipston and cycle to the start.
I've amended the end of the route so it's just under 50 miles (79km) with 567m of ascent. The main climbs are at Brailles, Chipping Campden and Ilmington.
Full route is Honington - Aylesmore - Brailes - Stourton - The Wolfords - Todenham - Draycott - Broad Campden - Chipping Campden - Mickleton - Pebworth - Dorsington - Welford - Long Marston - Quinton - Admington - Ilmington - Armscote - Halford - Honington
Cafe stop is at Decades Cafe, Tops Nursery, Broadway Road, Mickleton. It's just a few minutes ride off the route.
The forecast isn't great so I'll make a final decision on the day - keep an eye on Whats App (I'll let Gary know by phone and Martin is away in Italy).
I think that's all. Not mandatory, but nice to know who's coming. It would be a shame to leave someone at the start!
