We will decide on fuelstops by the bikes that join us. \nOur route will take us on a far more interesting ring road around Oxford. Heading west to Shrivenham we will then turn north stopping at Burford about 1h50 later for a stretch and Starbucks if needed. \nFrom here we will continue north to Radway and then turneastward\, heading for lunch in Wardington at about 12:30. \nAfter lunch we continue east past Buckingham and then southward to some great roads from Thame to Henley with a brief stop at about15:00\, terminating at the Shire on the A4\, which puts you in easy reach of both the M4 and M40. \nMostly A and B roads with reasonable surfaces however pure sports might not enjoy a couple of spots where surfaces could be better! But this is the UK….

SUMMARY:June Social Rideout
DESCRIPTION:Pace: Progressive \nDistance: 220 miles \nRide Leader: Gemma \nStart Time: 9:30AM \nFinish: 5PM \n  \nFor June we are going to stretch our riding muscles and ride out to Wales. I’ve removed the offroading section and landslide from last years and replaced with some qualilty A roads. \nThis is one of the longer rides in our calendar but it’s well worth the trip to ride these roads. We will start out from the Esso Garage just off the M4 at 9:30AM and dash up the M4 and make our way over the bridge to Chepstow. \nFrom there we head onto the B-roads towards Usk and reach our first stop  Bafflehaus for a spot of coffee. Before heading into the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecons) via the A40 and A479 and onto LLyswen for a quick petrol stop (approx 95 miles) and leg stretch. \nWe’ll head a little further north\, staying on the twisty A roads and then cut east on the A481 towards Leominster. If the weather is good we will aim to have lunch at Dom’s Bike Stop around 2PM. \nAfter lunch we make our way back fairly directly skirting Gloucester then Cirencester before making a straight run down just past Swindon to finish back at the Esso garage of the M4. If all goes well we should get here before 5PM.
