The Route (takes a few seconds to load)

Meeting point FBC, then we soon headed off road via Heath Ride. Squeezed through just in time before the road was closed for tarmacking.

Heath Ride


After cutting across Crowthorne via Ravenswood Avenue, we disappeared into the Gorrick plantation. Not been here since before the winter, as too muddy, but lovely today.

Other than this one puddle, all dry.

A kind dogwater took a team photo to  incude all of us at about the 9  mile

 We stopped for a  history lesson at the Henry Lucas Hospital, founded in 1663



Gorgeous blossoms at the old Henry Lucas building

It was hotting up, and the cattle were searching out shade

 A lovely ride, mostly off road today, and the first day in short sleeves this year. Long may it continue!
