Not likely to be very hilly. Might be a struggle for new or irregular riders in winter months. This is a pre-bookable ride.

Report:A select group of 3 gathered at Old Mill Hall for a ride out towards Wallingford. Steph, David and thank the lord for Karl!We had an uneventful ride out to Didcot via Icknield way and the disused railway track from Upton. We then navigated the labrynth of cycle paths through Didcot, such great paths! We were making good time as we tackled Sires Hill and looking forward to refreshments at Root one when David's chain broke! Thank the lord for Karl! No fuss just a simple matter of removing the broken link and replacing it; what a star! We made it safely to root one and enjoyed coffee and cake. We then decided to err on the side of caution and changed the return route to avoid the hills of Wittenham clumps. All in all a very pleasant ride with good company, although of course we missed our usual partners in crime! Thanks again Karl the very modern cyclist! | ||
