[svccridesupdate] Tomorrow’s drive to start ride: Shrivenham to Lambourn

As mentioned last week, tomorrow’s ride is a “drive to start ride” starting in Shrivenham, with the coffee stop in Lambourn (a scenic circumnavigation of White Horse Hill). Details are provided below. 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 weather is looking OK, although there could be the odd shower and it will be cooler than of late.

 

Please let me know if you are planning to join this ride (if you have not already been in touch).

 

 

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.
