Up with the lark- an early morning ride.

The route starts at Condicote Village Hall and we will head towards the brewery so will descend brewery hill. Next will be a sleepy Lower Swell and Lower Slaughter. Bourton will be quiet due to being there early before the tourist arrive. When we leave Bourton and head towards Lower Slaughter where we will see the River Eye. Then we will head towards the Upper Slaughter and join Buckle Street. If energetic we could extend the ride by going down Harford hill and onto Naunton (adds on 3 miles plus an extra hill) or we could head straight back and go back through Eyford. At the end you are welcome to have a croissant and homemade jam in my garden.

This is a circular route passing several small rivers.

Country lanes with a stretch on Buckle Street and a short stretch on the Fosse Way

We can stop at a cafe in Bourton on the Water or at the old Mill in Slaughter.

Please dress for the weather. Helmets are compulsory. Please bring a puncture repair kit and money for the stop.

Everyone is welcome. Any questions please ask.
