9:00 am

Description:
August Bank Holiday Monday - So an excuse for an extra ride

May have to be a bit flexible on cafes. If the cafe is open in Aldbourne (30k) then we can stop there for a quick coffee. Either way we will have a longer stop at Elaine's in Hungerford (52k) before heading home.

Let me know if you are coming please.

Report:
We set off in glourious sunshine and it stayed with us all the way round, (perhaps getting a little too hot by the end). We had an unexpected headwind at times but it didn’t seem to hamper us too much and it did help us a little on the way back - especially on the descent of Chain Hill where much fun was had! A great group of riders, good cafe stops (both open to the relief of the ride leader) - in all just a Great Way to spend a Bank Holiday Monday.
Distance:
85.00 km (52.82 mi)
