Climbing almost inevitable.Leaving Wantage we'll ride out to Lambourn via Hackpen hill and then onto Baydon, Aldbourne and a back way into Marlborough. On to Honeystreet via Manton for an earlyish lunch stop at the Mill cafe. A slightly flatter route back through Pewsey, Burgbage, Great and Little Bedwyn, Hungerford and then back over a couple of hills via Lambourn to Wantage. If you are planning on joining this ride could you let me know by end of Thursday so that I can hopefully book a table for lunch. |

Report:What a fantastic day! We were blessed by the weather gods and had only a very light breeze and beautiful sunshine all day.It was a fresh start with a bit of fog, but once we got to the top of Hackpen hill all had cleared. The morning was a bit of a hill fest with the aforementioned Hackpen, then Baydon, then Stock lane out of Aldbourne, followed by more undulating terrain. Lunch stop at the Mill Cafe in Honeystreet where more people were sitting outside rather than in. The afternoon was (slightly) flatter, but still populated with a few inclines. As we were coming through Eastbury on the way home it seemed silly not to stop for a cup of tea and a bit of malt loaf at the Eastbury cafe, otherwise known as Jenny and Terry's. This fortified us all for the last 50 mins of the journey back to Wantage. Great day out and thank you all for your company | ||
