SUMMARY:June Social Rideout
DESCRIPTION:Pace: Progressive \nDistance: 220 miles \nRide Leader: Gemma \nStart Time: 9:30AM \nFinish: 5PM \n  \nFor June we are going to stretch our riding muscles and ride out to Wales. I’ve removed the offroading section and landslide from last years and replaced with some qualilty A roads. \nThis is one of the longer rides in our calendar but it’s well worth the trip to ride these roads. We will start out from the Esso Garage just off the M4 at 9:30AM and dash up the M4 and make our way over the bridge to Chepstow. \nFrom there we head onto the B-roads towards Usk and reach our first stop  Bafflehaus for a spot of coffee. Before heading into the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecons) via the A40 and A479 and onto LLyswen for a quick petrol stop (approx 95 miles) and leg stretch. \nWe’ll head a little further north\, staying on the twisty A roads and then cut east on the A481 towards Leominster. If the weather is good we will aim to have lunch at Dom’s Bike Stop around 2PM. \nAfter lunch we make our way back fairly directly skirting Gloucester then Cirencester before making a straight run down just past Swindon to finish back at the Esso garage of the M4. If all goes well we should get here before 5PM.

SUMMARY:Slow Riding Training Day
DESCRIPTION:On the 10th June tutors from Thames Valley and Hampshire RoSPA groups will be available to coach you on slow riding skills and techniques.  This is free to members and non-members but we ask that you make a donation of £10 that we can donate to the air ambulances of both counties. \nSpace is limited to approx. 30 bikes by the size of the site so please book your place by filling in this form \nWe will prepare a number of practise exercises and coach you through them\, so you can look as good riding slow as you do riding fast.  The training will take place at Bike2Bike’s Greenham training center where they have some lovely smooth tarmac for us to use. There are facilities onsite and we will provide a light lunch. \nPlease arrive around 10AM and we will finish in the early afternoon.

SUMMARY:July Social Rideout
DESCRIPTION:Cotswolds Capers  \nStart: 9AM \nPace: Moderate\, with the chance to make progress for those who wish. \nMeeting point: Starbucks drive-through OX9 3SB (there is a petrol station here if people need to fill their tanks on arrival) \nMorning coffee stop: ‘The Organic Farm Shop cafe’\, Burford Road\, Cirencester GL7 5HF \nLunch: ‘Blaze Inn Saddles’\, Burdrop\, Banbury OX15 5RJ (we will probably stop at a petrol station prior to this\, to stretch legs and in case anybody has a smaller tank) \nAfternoon coffee/finish: ‘The Harrow Inn’\, Enstone\, Chipping Norton OX7 4NF \nTotal ride time: 5hr \nDistance: 190miles \n  \nThis route should have something for everybody. Long sweeping bends as well as narrower\, tighter corners. As much as possible I have tried to avoid main towns but there is only so much you can do in the south of England… \nAfter meeting at Thame\, we will ride through Long Crendon\, along the B4011\, before turning off towards Burford and then on to Bibury\, passing the famous ‘Arlington Row’. There are one or two slightly awkward drop-offs so I will try and keep us together through Burford itself\, as I expect it will be busy on a Sunday. After about 1hr30mins\, near Cirencester\, our morning coffee is at The Organic Farm Shop which should have plenty of space and nice views of the farm. From there we head north into the Cotswold’s on the longer section of the ride. This is about 1hr45mins-2hrs as we wind our way up and down through the Cotswold’s (look out for Diddly Squat Farm\, before Chipping Norton)\, through Charlbury and in the direction of Banbury before diverting off to our lunch stop: The Blaze Inn Saddles. I am keeping my fingers crossed for good weather as it is an outdoor venue\, hopefully with covers. On the last leg (about 1hr30mins)\, we head north to Leamington Spa and loop back down to Chipping Campden and finally end up in Enstone at ‘The Harrow Inn’. \nThe full route is approximately 5hrs of riding time so it should be a full day. I appreciate this is further north than some of the other social rides\, so\, I have left out a final leg after Enstone so people can get back earlier if they need to. Please help us keep the lunch stop informed and indicate if you are able to attend. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:September Rideout - White Horses of Wiltshire + 1
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nRun Leader: Gemma \nDistance: 160 miles \nStart Time: 10AM \nStarting Point: Podium Place\, 31A Bone Ln\, Newbury RG14 5SH \nFinish Time: 4:30PM \nPace: Relaxed \n  \nSome of you may have joined this ride in years past\, but it’s been a while and I’ve revised the route and ensured we have a good view and good roads. 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
