1* Snowdrop Special	1*

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 10:30 am	Start Location: OMH
Description: A special easy-paced ride to visit the best of our local snowdrops in the churchyards in Wantage, the Letcombes, Childrey and Sparsholt. These displays seem more impressive each year and this year they are earlier than ever. We will stop to explore and enjoy them; do bring a camera. Provisional route below, designed to keep high and avoid flooding in the vale. Refreshment stop at Richmond village cafe in Letcombe Regis. Riders are welcome to join us along the way... Please let me know by text if you are planning to come. As with all our Saturday half-day rides we will cover 24-32 km (15-20 miles) at a leisurely pace of 13-16km/h (8-10mph), tackling the occasional hill (nothing too long) and easy off-road tracks (conditions permitting).
Riders: Anke Otto Julie Haynes Lorna Swanton Steve Swanton Riders = 4 Weather: Report: A thoroughly enjoyable ride! More details and some pics to come...
