Marlow to Chinnor to Marlow cycle route
Chinnor up (81.7km)
Off on a CTC ride today, thought I would find it tough – and I did. Downhill skiing is not an aerobic exercise but cycling definitely is! A spin around South Bucks to Chinnor and then onwards towards Thame followed by a long haul up the Chiltern escarpment and home. Teach me to get on the road with proper cyclists. Met at the Bourne End Garden Centre and then head off up the dreaded Harvest Hill. Really glad to get to lunch in Chinnor for a break. Very good lunch spot, the Chinnor Village Centre. Chicken, Ham and Mushroom Pie with veggies for £4.50.
The coffee shop was packed with people of all ages and all the activity rooms looked full. If Mr Cameron’s Big Society brought a few more places like this it would be something! A lot of the workers are voluntary. Pots of home-made Damson Jam on sale but I didn't buy any as concerned about the weight.
The pace seemed pretty fast today, lots of hills. Glad to get home!
