| Lancashire & Cumbria | A Ride from Orton in north Cumbria. Start: Orton at 09:15 for 09:30. 40 miles, A. Andy and Christine's ride. The July ride visits the lovely Eden valley, with one ford, two castles, a few short stretches of gravel and "couple" of hills. The ride is a total of 39 lumpy miles, but the biggest hill is within the first 1 1/2 miles so just make sure your battery is charged and you'll be fine. The start is in the centre of Orton just north of J38 of the M6 (9:15 for a 9:30 start) with coffee at Bojangles in Appleby after 12 miles and lunch at Lowther Castle after 25 miles (although we will be taking a picnic). There are toilets at the start. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53512793 Andrew Acklam, aacklam1@gmail.com |
| Wessex | Romsey-Stockbridge circuit. Start: Green Acre, Halterworth Lane, Romsey SO51 9AD at 10:00. 34 miles, A. This was the ride which had to be cancelled in 2025 due to excess heat! David writes: The route contains bits of which we've ridden with the TC before but hopefully still a different and varied route for most. 10am start from Green Acre, Halterworth Lane, Romsey SO51 9AD; coffee at the Wellow fishery after 16km and then via small lanes to Stockbridge for lunch (at about 37km, bring sandwiches) and then a loop back home for a total of 54km. There are obvious ways to shorten or lengthen the route as required. My planner says 500m of ascent and descent, most of that clustered around 4 locations on the route, two before the coffee stop and then one before and after lunch. The majority of the distance is reasonably easy going. I expect Alison will provide some nibbles at home when we get back, for those who are able to hang around.
