It's high time I put a ride up on here, so without wanting to clash with any FNRttCs, let's go for Sunday 15th September.
Start/finish: Berkhamsted train station (London Midland 40minutes out of Euston)
Time: 10-ish (but happy to vary this)
Distance: 60-ish
The first 40 miles are pretty flat along reasonably large quiet roads (only a short stretch of the A413), along Chesham Vale, over the Wigginton ridge to Tring, Cheddington, Whitchurch, Waddesdon, Stone. It's fast - I did up to this point in about 2½ hours when I reccied it. And the tarmac is better than a lot of Bucks (which isn't saying much, I concede).
It then climbs steadily for about the next ten miles to Wendover Woods, where the tea stop at the (claimed) highest point in the Chilterns is worth it, I promise. It's then all downhill to Berko again.
Trying to find a lunch stop at the moment, I skipped lunch when I reccied it, but let's see how large the group becomes.
I'll put up the route when I can work out how to do it.
Any takers?
