Fish Hill to Bourton on the Water (and back)

This ride will be quite challenging with a couple of strenuous hills, so if you are training for a sportive this 36 mile ride will be a helpful contribution to fitness! We aim to ride at lest 12-13 mph on the flat but of course at individual pace uphill, and of course we always re-group at the top for a breather. We will start at Fish Hill car park near Broadway Tower. There are lovely views as we ride past Snowshill and on to Sudeley Hill, Hawling, Naunton to Bourton on the Water for a well earned coffee/tea/food stop at about the 20 mile point. From there we return via Lower Slaughter, Lower Swell, Condicote and Snowshill Hill Farm back to the start.
The main requirement is a reasonably lightweight road bike in good working order (good brakes and tyres). A water bottle is needed plus a spare inner tube, and a helmet is a recommended. Please bring a biscuit/bar/jelly babies/healthy nutty things to eat along the way, and a bit of cash for the coffee stop.
