RIDE CANCELLED - 3* Fifth Saturday Special	3*

Leader: Richard Pethybridge	Start Time: 9:00 am	Start Location: Honesty at the Base Cafe, Greenham Common
Description: RIDE CANCELLED - Sadly the arrival of a classic North Atlantic depression and a strong cold front is going to coincide with the planned time of this ride, bringing 45+ mph winds and heavy rain. Now, I'm as much of a masochist as the next person, but safety is key and so regrettably I am going to have to cancel the ride. I will look to reschedule some other time. - All-day touring ride of 66 miles (106km) with lunch, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. There is 3,500ft (1,066m) of climbing, but also 3,500ft of descent! This is a pre-bookable ride. To book a place, text your name to the ride leader on 07875 456521 no earlier than 9:00am on the Sunday before the ride. You will receive confirmation or be advised that the ride is fully booked. A reserve list will be maintained. This is a re-run of a ride I led last winter, with a slightly tweaked route. The aim will be to stop for lunch at the Cobbs Farm Shop near Winchester, at slightly over the halfway mark. There won't be a coffee stop, or a tea stop on the way home due to the shortening days and the distance involved.
