The fourth in our series of audax rides for 2024. Come and enjoy a ride along the Kennet Valley out to Ramsbury. Hop like a kangaroo(!) up the aptly named Spring Hill, if your legs can manage it? Then enjoy a lovely ride back, criss-crossing the Kennet & Avon Canal.
See details further below.
The route takes us out via Broad Hinton and over Hackpen Hill and onwards across the downs to our first stop in Marlborough at Mercer’s Cafe. Suitably refreshed, we head along the Kennet Valley to Ramsbury. Crossing the River Kennet we hop up the steep but thankfully short Spring Hill. With that behind us the roads start to flow as we head south to Froxfield and the Bedwyns. The route then criss-crosses the K&A Canal taking us west to our lunch stop at Sticks and Stones Cafe in Woodborough. Re-fuelled we head for home via Roundway, Bromham and Lacock.
The registration desk will be open from 8.10am onwards by the tennis courts. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start.
Entry fee for club members £1 (non-members £3). Please bring the exact change to drop in our container at the start.
Please note that attendance of this ride requires advanced booking. Please use this simple booking form.
The form is a mandatory for all riders, so the organiser knows who and how many to expect and so we have a record of everyone riding on the day. Your cooperation to complete this in advance of the ride will be much appreciated. It also means we can email you if there is any change in the ride information or cancellation. There is no need to notify us if you subsequently change your mind and decide not to ride, but a short email to the address below will ensure your name is taken off the list.
Experienced riders are asked to help keep the groups to a manageable size on the road.
