Barbury Bash	3*

Leader: Nick Dunton	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: Milton
Description: For anyone who enjoyed the Blowingstone audax and wants to try another, Didcot Phoenix is running the Barbury Bash on the above date. Start is in Milton. Course is similar to Blowingstone [i.e. very hilly!], crossing the Vale to ascend to Barbury Castle, then through Ogbourne St George, Great Shefford, Farnborough and West Ilsley, finishing with an adrenalin-rich 400m down the A34! There are also 160 and 200km rides which start earlier [warning – these are very tough!]. Pre-entry required through the AUK website.
Riders: Andy Pixton David Smith Hugo Pile Katherine Boyce Nick Dunton Ursula Hallam Riders = 6 Weather: Report: Several CTC Wantage riders tackled the 100km version of this ride (Nick riding on Saturday as he was manning one of the controls on Sunday). Bryan Charleston rode the 160km version and John Talbot rode the 200km version.
Distance: 107.50 km (66.80 mi)
