Chilterns this morning!

Did about 25 miles starting from Stonor and it was -5deg C, quite cold but had a very good ride. Was amazed on how good the traction was, would have thought that on frozen ground would have been the opposite. Anyway here is a pic or two.

Nice one, I’ve just come back from wendover woods, I can confirm it’s dam cold on the chilterns, but the views are stunning in crisp wintervision.

Went out from Watlington, it was as dry as a bone, cracking ride, but effing cold. Empty of folks as well, couldn’t have seen more than 10 people all day

16 miles from Middle Assendon to Watlington and back. Ace.

I’m dead jealous, I must get to the Chilterns again soon!

mutley – is that the road from the Nature Reserve with the pig of a climb on the left that leads towards Maidensgrove?

iRideSpesh – is the second one near the reservoir in Great Wood, close to Hambledon?

Lovely pics, makes me more determined to get back on the bike after a year off…..damn this knackered hip.

cinnamon_girl, the very same, cunningly avoided by going the other way . great descent from the top heading east though

No wonder I was cold Sunday morning if it was -5 ! Did an hour from Watlington – it was lovely to ride in the dry and a lovely morning.My feet were numb by the time I got home though.
If anyone’s doing a ride from Watlington let me know. (I live there but don’t really ride anywhere else as 2 small children plus a husband training for triathlon limit it a bit!)

Right, thats it, Im inspired to go out on my bike now.

Watly_biker – will let you know when I am about for a bike ride.

Trimix – I live in Oxford also, maybe we can arrange a bike ride sometime.
