| RIDE CANCELLED - Summer Solstice Ride | 3* |
|---|
Leader:Katherine Boyce |
Start Time:4:15 am |
Start Location:WMP |
Description:RIDE CANCELLED - Sorry but the weather is just too unsettled to run this ride this weekend. John Tranter will be running it next Sunday.A fully revised route devised especially for the current circumstances. This is a pre-bookable ride, the group will be a maximum of 8 people and booking is now open. A hilly ride of 116km with 1160 meters of climbing starting at 4.15 in Wantage Market place. We will start by climbing to see the sunrise from Hackpen Hill before dropping down to take the Springline Road through to Chilseldon. After Avebury we will take the back roads to Marlborough, passing the little known Marlborough White Horse. Return will be via Ramsbury and, Hungerford, before taking our previous route with one of the easier climbs over the Ridgeway to Chain Hill for a usually glorious decent back to Wantage. Please bring snacks with you as we will not be stopping at the garage in Chilseldon as in previous years. We are likely to pass through Marlborough too early for a proper breakfast but can grab a coffee and cake(?) from Greggs or Cafe Nero before going on to Hungerford for a 'proper' stop at Elianes. You will also need to bring lights, suncream and layers to stave off the pre-dawn chill! |
