Riding a folding bike far too much of the time...
- Location
- Reading upon Thames
If you fancy getting out on your Brompton Bicycle or other small wheeled folders in to the wonders of the Oxfordshire Countryside but don't fancy cycling all the way from London this could be the ride for you.
Those taking part will enjoy a 30mile ride along mainly quiet country lanes.
We will leave Reading Station and quickly cross the river Thames into Oxfordshire before a gentle climb up to Stokes Row. Soon we will descending off the back of the Chilterns and heading to a lovely community village shop / cafe in the village of Ewelme where we will take refreshment and purchase a light lunch.
From there we will head north to Chalgrove and on into Oxford following the famous Cowley Road into the historic City Centre and head to Oxford's only Cycle Cafe at Zappi's Bike Shop for a well earned hot drink and some cake!
Baring mechanicals I imagine we will arrive in Oxford by 3pm if not eariler.
The cafe is only a few minutes cycle from Oxford Railway Station where there is a frequent service to London and the South Coast.
Please meet at the Town Centre side of Reading Station by 9.45hrs as we aim to leave at 10am sharp. For those travelling from London there is a very regular service from Paddington taking about 25 minutes while the twice hourly service from Waterloo takes about an hour.
