Up and Down Around the Knee
Venturing into the Cotswold outliers, this route will present a few challenging stretches. The total distance is 19miles, but we’ll take it at a gentle pace and walking up a hill is not a crime! We always wait for everyone to catch up at the tops of climbs and we never leave anyone behind.
The route is to the south west of Shipston, going up to Todenham, then crossing the Fosse at Dorn. Approaching Batsford we turn towards Aston Magna to avoid the worst of the gradients, and from Draycott we head north to Paxford, where we will stop for refreshment at The Churchill Arms. From Paxford the homeward route is quite gentle and we cross back over the Fosse at the Portabello Crossroads to come back into Shipston on the Campden Road.
The weather forecast is pretty good for Saturday (at the time of writing), but do check nearer the time and come prepared for a rain shower. A properly fitted helmet is recommended, but is not compulsory. Ensure your bike is in a roadworthy condition and remember to bring water and cash/card for the coffee stop.

I look forward to cycling with you on Saturday.
