3* Bank Holiday Special	3*

Leader: Sharon Bedford	Start Time: 9:30 am	Start Location: The Beacon
Description: Please pre-book for this ride by contacting the ride leader. Half day (ish) ride to Hungerford and back. Stop at a cafe in Hungerford (TBD once bank holiday openings are advertised).
Riders: Chris Bailey Eddie Little Jane John Jo Little John Tranter Joy Arthur Karen Townsin Richard Kidd Sharon Bedford Riders = 9 Report: The beauty of a ride to Hungerford is that there are so many different routes to get both there and back - so no two rides need be the same - and we all agreed that today's was a nice route. Of course whatever route selection you make there are always at least two ridges to get over and so lots of hills. Great then that Eliane's was open to revive us with drinks and excellent cakes, (service also fast and efficient). There were a few spots of rain around Weston, (just as Karen left us having front loaded the ride by cycling to the start), but otherwise it was dry with a reasonable amount of sunshine - so not bad for a Bank Holiday Monday!
Distance: 68.00 km (42.25 mi)
