The good news for prospective participants is that I did this on my Venge with semi-pro chain ring, which I hope proves it to be a relatively gentle circuit of just a little over 12 miles and so suitable for all. There's one short rise out of Membury which looks much worse than it is and will do wonders in replacing some lost warmth from standing around trying to work out the fiendish clues - even if one really wants to get off and walk up it!
Once back at Millers Farm Shop, the chosen start and finishing venue, I tested the coffee and cake. Yes, taking another one for the team! and can report all was well here too.
Having filled up on caffeine and cake the tank was too full to then return home, so decided on taking in a section of my next planned club ride (the Queen of Rides - the hilly one) with 'blast' up Stockland Hill. It was amazing weather all the way, and, oh yes did I not say, all ridden in the excellent company of my good friend, Jason from the 2014 Ride London.
Our route today .. perfect for anyone wanting to do the treasure hunt and a bit more .. is below:
