NEW DATE

Sponsored Bike Ride - 30th September

We are raising money to support the development of the sports pavilion at Peppard Common. Please join our cycle challenge on Sunday 19th August. It is open to all ages who can ride a bicycle. The plan is to run three rides: The family and intermediate ride will be self guided using simple maps and can be attempted at any time during the day whilst the advanced ride will be guided and will depart at a set time in the morning.

1. Family (Easy) ride 6.9 miles (Family Ride Map ). Mainly offroad and/or quiet roads. An easy loop (with some uphill) between Peppard Common cricket ground to Stoke Row cricket ground and returning via a different route. Two pubs are passed on the way – Cherry Tree in Stoke Row and just at the end of the ride the Unicorn in Peppard Common. Also in Stoke Row there is the opportunity to stop half way at the Stoke Row Café for refreshment at halfway. The second half is all downhill so all the hard word is done.

2. Intermediate (Moderate) ride 15.9 miles (Intermediate Ride Map ). Mix of Offroad and/or quiet roads centred mainly in the Stonor valley. Further than the family ride with more challenging off road sections. The route takes the same initial directions as the advanced ride but begins to loop back to Peppard after Syncombe cricket ground.

3. Advanced (Expert) ride 35.5 miles (Advanced Ride Map ). This is a long ride and will take around 4 hours. It will be guided by two experienced riders and will set off at a set time from Peppard. The route takes us from Peppard Common to Stoke Row, Nettlebed, Syncombe, Watlington, Wormsley Estate, Turville Park, Stonor, Hambleden, Henley, Harpsden and back home to Peppard Common. We won't always go right next to a cricket ground but close enough to tick it off. The ride will have a scheduled stop for refreshments and food at an appropriate point along the route.

Maps of the proposed routes are available by clicking the links above.
