Couch to 100km in 10 Weeks - week 10

This SUNDAYS ride is the BIG final 100km ride, which see us make our way out of town eastwards for a change. We will cycle out towards Sevenhampton, where we will have our ‘hill of the day’. We will encourage everyone up the hill, where we will regroup at the top after getting our breath back. Its then on to Shrivenham where we will travel out to the first café at Stanford in the Vale (@25m). We will then head north, dropping down into the Thames valley, where we will travel through villages of Bampton (Downton Abbey country), Clanfield, Langfords, Southrop, Fairford and back to the waterpark lakes, where our second café stop is at Carly’s Café at Performance Cycles (@53m).

As we started this challenge as a single group, we will all then ride together to our finish point at The Strawberry Thief in the Tadpole Garden Village, for a refreshment or two

The weather forecast is looking good at this time - Please dress accordingly.

The total ride is 100.9km (62.7m) with a projected 1428ft elevation.

Can we please aim to be at Moredon Sports Hub for around 08:10hrs, so we are able to set off at 08:15hrs.
