BucksMTB Chiltern Hills
Watlington XC
Group Ride April 2011 Event Preview Group Ride date: April 30th 2011 Hi all, The route for our April Group Ride has been confirmed! This months ride will start in Watlington, Oxfordshire, on the morning of 30.04.2011 at 10.30am. Our route follows a 22 mile loop through the Chilterns and onto the Ridgeway, up towards Christmas Common, round to Pishill and back to Watlington via Cookley Green. There are a number of long, singletrack descents through the local woodland with some stunning views over the area so if you’re available to come along I’d recommend it. Because of the length of the descents (and those pesky laws of gravity), the route does take in a few challenging climbs - the biggest has a height gain of 350ft in 3/4 of a mile. Because of the length of the climbs we would classify this as a moderate/strenuous route so please ensure you’ve got enough food and water for the ride as shops are few and far between. We will be stopping for refreshments (and a breather) half way along our route at Pishill for tea and cake so please bring a few quid along. As always please ensure you’re self sufficient for the ride and have spare tubes, patches, tool kits, mobile phone etc. The start point is the free car park just off of Hill Road, Watlington (between Watcombe Road and Spring Lane), the nearest postcode I can find is OX49 5AD. Please be there before 10.30am to ensure we have a prompt start. There’s a pub in Watlington with a great view from their beer garden so we’ll finish up there, it’s next to the car park we’re starting at anyway. I’m not sure the owner will appreciate us taking up his carpark all morning so avoid using it if you can! Look forward to seeing you all,
