Regular Wantage Ride	3*

Leader: Katherine Boyce	Start Time: 9:15 am	Start Location: The Beacon, Wantage
Description: Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. UPDATE Thursday 14/9. Weather currently looking interesting for Sunday, will make a definitive decision Sunday morning….. watch this space. Monthly 80-100km (50-65 miles) all-day touring ride, lunch and possibly tea stop en route, at a riding pace of 18-22km/h (11-14mph). Not suitable for irregular riders. Climbing almost inevitable. As a courtesy to the ride leader, we ask that you pre-book for this ride. Rerun of a ride I did during covid times. I remember it as particularly lovely! Not that hilly. An early stop at Fairford’s Lynwood and depending on the group, a second stop at Bampton or Aston pottery.
Riders: Andy Pixton Barry Stanton Eddie Little Jo Little Katherine Boyce Paul Smith Sharon Bedford Riders = 7 Weather: Report: Threats of thunderstorms and heavy rain due early afternoon meant a curtailed Sunday ride. We turned right at Highworth to follow the roller coaster road towards Faringdon, regrouping at Bradbury Clumps. With the bridge at Lechlade still shut there was a lot more traffic until Coleshill. We parted company in Grove, all glad to be back before the heavens opened. It was great to see Jo back on her first ride for a while.
