Winter Ride to Cricklade anyone?
Anyone fancy a winter ride at randonee distance. Date tbc based upon the weather. Possibly the 17th December.
For my December Randonee attempt, I shall be riding a DIY audax from Chaddesley to Cricklade via Winchcombe, back via Broadway. Whilst the route passes over the Cotswold hills twice, there and back, the only bugger of an ascent is the climb out of Winchcombe.

The half way cafe at Cricklade is excellent and cyclist friendly.

Thanks Paul.
I have not yet received approval for the route from AUK yet. So failing that, I may well opt for a permanent instead, see the Cheltenham Clee Flyer at:

I would not call it flat though. With passages over Clee and Cleeve Hills plus the roller coaster between Ludlow and Ledbury, it is reasonably hilly but nothing approaching Killer standards. The section from Winchcombe and home is a breeze.
----EDIT----
AUK have now approved the Cricklade route.
