On this ride with one exception\, we are going to enjoy the marvelous roads of Wiltshire which will reveal the white horses. \nWe will start from the Podium Place in Newbury at 10AM sharp.\, so be there a little earlier for the briefing. \nWe head north\, to fit in the exception and make our way up to Wantage on the A3349 and then past Uffington via the more technically demanding A4507.  Then we start making our way south west\, picking up one more horse before our first stop at The Dandy Highwayman in Cherhill for some cake and coffee at around 11:20. \nFrom this point\, you are going to have to keep count\, we’ll head through sweeping A and B roads\, with the occasional lane thrown in for good measure. We’ll pass through Broadtown\, Hackpen\, Marlborough\, Alton Barnes and Devizes before popping to the White Horse Café in Westbury around 1:30PM for a spot of lunch. \nAfter lunch we have a couple more horses to see and still staying on the sweeping roads of the Wiltshire countryside we’ll make our way past Westbury to visit Pewsey before starting to head back to Newbury past the lost horse at Inkpen via some of the smaller roads. \nWe’ll finish back at the Podium Place around 4:30PM \n  URL:https://roadartvg.org.uk/event/september-rideout-white-horses-of-wiltshire-1/ LOCATION:Podium Place\, 31A Bone Ln\, Newbury\, RG14 5SH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240804T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240804T173000 DTSTAMP:20260502T194054 CREATED:20230704T180325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240619T163506Z UID:2365-1722760200-1722792600@roadartvg.org.uk SUMMARY:August Social Ride DESCRIPTION:Sunday 4th August \nDistance: 200+ miles \nStart Time: 08:30AM sharp!
