I am planning to head off to the Chilterns for some mountain biking this weekend. I have Robyn and some other mutual friends joining me, with possibly Alan, Dave (Dishman), Grahame, Pete from ACC all expressing some interest so far. So just looking to see who else might be keen for something different.
It is great MTB territory which I have cycled around several times before. Not sure of the exact route on the day, but it will be between 24 and 32 miles. I'm totally dependent on my GPS to get me around the area , but don't worry, if the batteries fail, there are people on the ride who know their way around without a map . These are two examples of routes I have done in the past:

The ride will take around 3 to 4 hours, so requires an early start of 9:45am at the Five Horseshoes pub (near Watlington) in order to return for a pub lunch at a reasonable time.

The drive takes around 1hr 15 mins so need to head off around 8:15am. I can take 4 additional passengers plus bikes in my people carrier. PM me if you are interested in joining us.
