Marlow Riders Gravel Ride to Aston Rowant
Posted the ride Thursday am and until Thursday evening, it was just me. Okay, I plan and post my rides late. And it is holiday season. So I wasn’t too optimistic of many takers.
But then Sally signed up, WhatsApp ing me to make sure I would be still going…

Gravel Ride to Bishopstone
Gravel Ride to Bishopstone
Midweek jaunt with Tim. Decent length of ride to try some new gravel routes. One out of three success rate.
Towersey to Ilmer. Fail. (Ilmer church pictured) Overgrown and bumpy and unclear field crossings but quite exciting as a result in a sort of “will we…

Road cycle Marlow to Velo Cafe Worminghall
After the early shake out it ended up a group of 4 - Jane, Pat, Tim, Me - and we fair zoomed along on this lovely day out out towards Oxford.
Had a nice sausage roll and coffee at the very friendly Velo Cafe (Weekends only) in Worminghall. Nice to…

Gravel Ride to Chiltern Velo Cafe
Nice day for it as they say. Lovely route except for the experimental ‘let’s try some new bridleways’ parts where we had about. 50% success rate.
Anyone copying the route look out for the bridleways just before (at 24.5km) and just after (28.5km) where it was very stony and needing…

Gravel Ride Marlow to Dinton Pastures
Lovely relaxing ride compared to previous efforts. Met up with Paul, Sarah, Amadeep (aka Omar), and lovely Lynn at Dinton Pastures. Nice ice latte and listening to Tim bang on about his fall a few months ago.
Some new routes and some a little less legal but lovely. On the…

Marlow Riders Gravel Ride to Ewelme Watercress Museum
To say this Ride was eventful would be an understatement. We managed to meet up okay. That went well at least. Then Steve decided that my route needed a little bit of upfront jazz. So added in a MundayDean gravel section. Which I must say was quite pleasant.
Then we…

Hot Loop via Chesham and other Shady Places
Ride from Tim’s place in Beaconsfield on some lovely shady trails and minor roads eventually ending up at the cock and rabbit again. Then back.
Very hot. But felt much better after this ride that many other cooler rides. There is a lesson here. I focused so much on hydration…

Wendover Gravelly Wander from Beaconsfield
Glorious route (thanks Tim) especially the first half. The second half ruined by a nice bridleway climb (my route choice) who someone had decided to spread pea gravel on making it demanding to climb with any speed or grace. Tim bit the fence twice. Also the photos make me look…
