We'll cycle past some lakes before heading out into the countryside. Our first stop is at Hobbs House Bakery in Nailsworth, which serves an all day breakfast. The longest, steepest climb of the day is after that and then it's mostly downhill or flat after that, as we go through Tetbury and skirt Malmesbury before heading back to the water park. Our second stop is near the end of the ride, at the Dragonfly cafe near Oaksley. They are right by one of the lakes and should provide a welcome coffee and cake before the last few miles back to the car park. 54 miles, with 800m of climbing, all in the first half of the ride. |
