Regular Wantage Ride

Leader: Kevin Fairs	Start Time: 10:00 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: Approx 85Km on-road, we will head to Cuddesdon via Boars Hill and Littlemore. After a short amble through the villages in that area we will return via Dorchester and Culham Bridge. Estimate we will be back by 17:30. Lights recommended. The route is mostly flat (apart from the hilly bits) and I will aim for a 20-22kph pace and adjust to suit attendees. We were booked in at the Bat and Ball, Cuddesdon, but I had a call earlier this week cancelling our booking as its Mothers Day! So if I cant find anything else we might be eating in a garden center! Suggestions welcome (preferably researched ones)
Riders: Diane Stuckey Eve Thornton (decd) Ginny Henderson Jan McCabe Kevin Fairs Mavis Rose Neil Warner Richard Divall Sue King Wenfeng Yang Riders = 10 Report: 82km in all, and we were back by 5 after battling through very strong winds. Sue gets the prize for the best spot for a puncture, at the top of an exposed hill with horizontal rain, and Wen got to try her first fig roll. Lunch at the Golden Balls garden centre was OK but should only be repeated if all else fails.
