Come for a ride out in the Sharpener an early season ride which will help answer that questions for you.

Starting in the picturesque village of Haddenham and  routed through some of the best back roads Buckingham and Oxfordshire have to offer the Sharpener is a single distance (100k) loop course which includes some great climbing.

The first 9 miles are a pleasant warm up before you reach your first climb Kingston Blount Hill after which you will have some pleasantly undulating mileage until mile 43 when you'll get an 'interval session' which will keep you in and out of the saddle..
