Description

A challenging ride that tackles some of the iconic hills in the area, particularly Blowingstone, Spring Hill, Martinsell Hill and White Horse Hill. The route is mostly on quiet back-roads with light traffic.
The route is named after the Blowing Stone - a perforated sarsen stone that can be made to sound if blown correctly - that is situated close to the route. Blowingstone Hill is one of the major climbs on the route to ascend to the Ridgeway. Uffington White Horse - a real Bronze Age artefact rather than a Victorian copy - is close to the final info control. The route also crosses Ermine Street and utilizes a short stretch of the Icknield Way.
