Back by popular demand (i.e. a visitation from Martin wanting to know if it's on).
A route is being devised, heading down into Wilts and just into Somerset. As usual, we'll start from Wantage at (probably) 10:00. Further details to follow.
Any takers?

Update - there is another run (that I know of - there could be more) starting in Wantage Market Place at 10 on Sunday. This means that the square could become quite crowded with bikes if the weather's half decent, so to avoid confusion I'm moving our meeting point to the Beacon car park (OX12 9BX) instead.
I'm aiming for a 10 am departure (though I do have a reputation for lateness to keep up!) I have asked the leader of the other run to let me know where they're going, so we can try to avoid getting tangled up and mis-directed.
The Beacon car park is signed from several places round the town as 'Long Stay P', I think. From the Market Place, take the A338 (Newbury Street) south, take the first turning on the right (Church Street - which is NOT the street that leads directly to the church from the square) then left into the car park after a short distance. There's a small bike park next to the toilets as you enter the car parking area. Or if you miss the right turn, go right at the traffic lights then right again after 50 yards or so.
Hoping to see a few hardy souls on Sunday. Meanwhile a very Happy New Year to all!

I hope to be joining you guys on sunday, depending on the weather, which looks like it's going to be reasonable.
coming south on the A338, is the car park on the right, with the fuel station by the entrance, before the right that leads to the square ?

If you're coming down the A338 from the north, go sharp right at the mini-roundabout in front of Broadway Motors (BP station) which will take you to the square, and take a sharp left - that's Newbury St. Then follow directions in my previous post. Hope that's clear. Bob |
