Regular Wantage Ride	3*

Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: Beacon
Description: Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. UPDATE Due to the state of the roads, the ride has been changed to avoid smaller roads and hopefully flooding and road debris. Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. With winter setting in, all-day rides start to get shorter: Hungerford for coffee and then over Fox Hill to Ashbury for lunch about two thirds in. After lunch the hills are pretty much done.
Riders: Jo Little Katherine Boyce Lisa Footner Riders = 3 Weather: Report: With many back roads so full of debris and water after Fridays rain, a more suitable route was concocted at the last minute. Won’t be using the A road from Highworth to Lechlade anytime soon! Otherwise a good route with an excellent cafe in Highworth (Chloes). Slightly shortened at the end due to how cold it got! Lots of thoughtful motorists helped make it a peaceful ride and the company was great 😊
