Both rides stay together until Stokenchurch.

It could be quite wet tomorrow morning (according to the BBC) so if you do come out don’t forget a rain jacket. Sadly I can’t join you for this event since quite frankly I had my fill of rain on Friday.

Have fun,

Andy

9am ride:

57 miles:

This goes very close to the Green Dragon Eco Farm Cafe at Hogshaw (zoom into the map a little), so if you need a warming cuppa then you could always call in.

Three routes to tempt you out this Sunday, the weather is set to be calm and dry so a great chance to get out and ride in a group

Starting at 9am we have a 100km excursion North to Stoke Bruerne on mostly quiet roads, without any huge climbs to worry about, as easy April Grand Fondo opportunity!

At 10am we head out to Princes Risborough with one challenging climb in the middle and then back though Chesham and the Vale.
