[svccridesupdate] Thursday Ride to Bitton and the Golden Valley

I have a free Thursday so I'm having a go at leading the harder ride this Thursday – about 75 miles with just over 1000m of climbing. 

Meet 9:30am at Wallbridge, Stroud. Then Butterow, Minchinhampton, Cherington, Tetbury, Easton Grey, Alderton with a coffee stop at Burton Farm Shop after about 25 miles. 

Then Tormarton, Wick, down the Golden Valley to Bitton where we will join the Cycle Path for some easier cycling with another stop at Warmley Waiting Room after 42 miles altogether. 

We will then head back along the Ring Road Cycle Track and then Coalpit Heath, Iron Acton, Itchington, Cromhall, Tortworth, Stinchcombe and your preferred route home. 

Here's a link to the route: Bitton and the Golden Valley

Hope to see some of you on Thursday. You never know – it might not even rain! Feel free to come just to the coffee stop or join en route.
