アストン・ティロールドのおすすめライド

川や運河が国土を縦横に走っています。なぜなら、特に産業革命の初期には、交通インフラの非常に重要な要素だったからです。結局のところ、工場はこれまで知られていなかったほどの大量の原材料の供給を必要としており、完成品も商人への道をたどる必要がありました。運河の多くはこの時代に起源を持っています。その後、最初は鉄道が、さらに後にはトラックが商品の輸送を引き継ぎました。 人工水路の建設や河川の航行を可能にする際には、常に標高差を克服する必要があることを考慮する必要がありました。そのため、運河や河川に沿って、その場所の状況に応じて、多かれ少なかれ大きな間隔で、多くの場合、水門が並んでいます。水門の助けなしには、航行は不可能でした。

All cyclists are able to pass the toll bridge for free

lovely coffee and cakes

Streatley Hill from Streatley is a short but savage climb, averaging 12% with ramps hitting 18%. The narrow residential road quickly heads up through trees, with smooth tarmac but little room to weave or recover. Hit it in your easiest gear from the start and stay seated to maintain traction on the steepest pitches. It’s over in less than half a kilometre, but every metre hurts. Nail this one, and you’ve ticked off one of Berkshire’s steepest ascents.

Cyclist friendly community owned cafe. Good facilities and outdoor seating for the good weather. plenty of space for bikes.

As a memorial to the many dead, such monuments - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously common "war memorial".

Easier (longer) and more scenic route to the top of Streetly Hill

Nice for the early morning sun
