FW: [svccridesupdate] Tuesday 5th September at 12.30pm – drive to start ride – Shrivenham to Lambourn

Morning everyone

 

I have heard from only a couple of people that they plan to join the ride referred to in my email forwarded below. Is there anyone else out there who is planning to join us? The weather next week is looking fabulous and so it would be great to take advantage of this after what we have endured for much of this “summer”.

 

If, on the other hand, some of you would prefer a normal ride on Tuesday, starting from Dudbridge, and would wish to participate (were such a ride on offer), please also let me know. I could then weigh up the balance of opinion and confirm what is happening on Monday.

 

I look forward to receiving responses (please reply just to me rather than clogging up the in boxes of everyone else).

 

Thanks

Here is advance notice of my drive to start ride for next Tuesday, 5^th September. This will give you time to liaise with other riders about car sharing and it will also be helpful to know beforehand who plans to join this ride.

 

Please note the earlier than normal start time of 12.30PM (to ensure we get to the café in Lambourn well before its 3.30pm closing time).

 

The ride date: Tuesday 5^th September.

 

Location of start of ride: Car park in Martens Road, Shrivenham (free parking).     what3words location of car park is  inferior.galloped.youthful

 

Directions for start point: Heading south on A419 from Cirencester, take Shrivenham exit (on A420, turning left off A419). After about 3 miles turn right off A420 to Shrivenham. Keep going straight on into Shrivenham until you get to the left turn to Highworth – turn left here and then first left into Martens Road, where the car park is immediately on your left. (There is a height restriction on entry to the car park – if you have your bike on the roof of your car you will need to remove it before entering the car park or it will be removed for you!).   

 

Start time: 12.30pm. Please arrive in good time to be ready to start riding at 12.30pm.

 

Ride details:

 

• 36 miles, medium paced, with a coffee stop at Goodies Café, Lambourn.

 

• The ride goes through some lovely country with far reaching views and on quiet roads, circumnavigating White Horse Hill (but with just 1,472 feet / 449 meters of climbing).

 

• Route: Shrivenham – Uffington – Letcombe Regis – over the Ridgeway to Lambourn – Ashbury – Bishopstone – Bourton – Shrivenham

 

• For full details, please use following link:       View Shrivenham to Lambourn

 

Other instructions:

 

• Please let me know by email if you plan to come. I will then be able to check that there is sufficient uptake and will also know who to expect at the start point. I will resend the details of the ride nearer the time (probably on Monday next week, as is usual for Tuesday rides), confirming that it will be happening.

 

• If you have a car / bike racks with capacity to transport more than one bike, I encourage you to liaise with other riders for some car sharing.

 

 

I look forward to hearing from those of you who would like to join the above ride.
