ABC Towns and Villages

[Supersuperleeds]

Yes, that's the one I have another W in mind, which I'll do on a separate trip.

Winslow is the next village along going east. There is a nursery there with a smashing little cafe as well (Lakers Nursery)

I did a 200km ride to get Verney Junction.

 

[Spartak]

Berkeley, on a windy ride to Sharpness Docks on the River Severn.

 

[BoldonLad]

A short ride to get "E". Didny have my secateurs with me to clear the foliage!

 

[IaninSheffield]

Penultimate one was never going to be easy (60 mile round trip with 4800' of ascent), but there was no need to slip in one of the '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs' on the way back - Rowsley Bar - just for the hell of it! That'll learn me!

Intended to do this ride last weekend but postponed it due to storm Alex. Ventured over the border into Devon to do F,G,H,I & J . Interestingly my original J was going to be Jacobstow just down the road from me in Cornwall but changed it to the Devon one when I realised it wasn't too far from Hatherleigh & Iddesleigh. 72 miles / 5545 feet climbing 14.7mph av speed. KL & M next, all local to me on one of my regular routes.

Try saying that after you've had a few....

You'd never have thought that it was Britains healthiest town from the amount of exhaust fumes I inhaled along the high street!

Another dutch airline on the thread today, K,L & M bringing me to the half way point in just four rides. 16 miles today, 1332ft climbing. The second half of the alphabet will be more of a challenge with several long rides just to get one letter. I should be able to do the whole lot without taking any byes. (An Ex lined up for X). All should be achieved riding from home

 

[Johnsop99]

N,O & P done today. 36.4 miles 2667 ft climbing. Next will have to be a special trip just to get Q, unfortunately no R,s nearby.

 

[Vantage]

Got my F today.

 

[IaninSheffield]

Got my F today.

Does that make it an 'F in' day?

[Johnsop99]

A visit to Hogwarts (well pretty close!) for todays "Q". 38 miles and 2838ft climbing. Revisited my A & C again to get there.

 

[BoldonLad]

done F, Farringdon. A stroke of luck to get this, while en-route to "bag" "D" for my Saints Names Challenge. Makes up for cycling to Fatfield, only to find, there is no name board!

 

[Willd]

V at last, quite a familiar one on here 83.67 miles, 4,032ft of climbing, tired now

at least all the rest are a bit closer
