Our first outing with bikes other than starting from home, since the lockdown. We are now allowed to drive to start our exercise, so went to a familiar favourite ride area starting at The Pet Barn, Rotherfield Peppard.
route
A lovely ride, but the first 11 miles up to Christmas Common is all uphill, gradual, but even so. Then the lovely long downhill to Britwell Salome and across more level area to Ewelme. The only way out of Ewelme again is uphill, but then a few more flatter miles across the Ipsden landscapes.
Our final ascent was up past the Blue Tin farm shop, Garsons Lane by which time, we powered up. Then back via Stoke Row and ended on a nice long downhill through Kingswood.
