Regular Wantage Ride - Just short of a Bash.

Leader: Kevin Fairs	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: WMP
Description: Approx 90km on-road, this will generally follow the route of the Barbury Bash Audax. Lunch will be a picnic at Barbury Castle, there will be opportunity to purchase lunch from a service station on the way and there is a cafe (outdoor only) at Barbury Castle which now appears to be re-vamped (see http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/wiltshire/tourism/news/TOURISM_NEWS1.html). There may be a beer stop on the way back. N.B. EARLIER START TIMES DURING SUMMER.
Riders: Alice Robson Amanda Seddon Barry Eastwood Chris Mallinson Des Higgs Diane Stuckey Eve Thornton (decd) Ginny Henderson Jon Seddon Kevin Fairs Mavis Rose Neil Warner Richard Divall Steve Swanton Sue King Riders = 15 Report: An un-hurried ride to Barbury Castle in glorious sunshine, where we departed from the normal format and had a picnic or visited the Castle Cafe. After climbing Snap we then enjoyed a beer on the green at Aldbourne before climbing Marriage (what is the fuss with this hill??) and decending to Lambourn for tea at Mavis's. Skinnydipping was optional. 86Km
