No chance of the midweek ride being postponed this week, the weather looks set fair.  The ride starts from Micheldever Station, if you are driving rather than travelling by train, there is a pay car park at the station, and limited free car parking fairly close.  Recommended parking is in Micheldever itself, about 2/3 miles from the station at SU519392.  Take the A33, turn right signposted Micheldever, and the parking is on the right as you enter the village.  We will have coffee at Whitchurch, then the plan for the grade 4 ride is to head north into the hills south of Newbury, before curving back round and back via the Test Valley to Micheldever again.  It is a delightful ride, on mainly quite lanes, with a mix of the hills and the lovely valley to finish.  I will meet the train at the station at 10.10
and lead to coffee.

Please see the earlier note advising that the Wednesday ride this week will now take place on Thursday.

For those who enjoy a ride on the gentle rather than energetic side of the spectrum, and would normally ride with Rico on a Wednesday, may I suggest that you might wish to join Rico for his Thursday Evergreens ride from Woking to Pirbright and back (full details on the website), as this is the ride that he will be leading on Thursday.

The weather forecast for Wednesday is pretty grim, and I know that, understandably, many riders are not too keen on venturing out in such conditions.  However, the forecast for the following day, Thursday, is very much better, and I have therefore decided  to shift the advertised ride back one day to Thursday 5 June.

I know that it will not suit all, indeed it does not suit me personally (I will not be able to make the rescheduled ride) but my soundings indicate that the change will receive majority approval.

The ability to make this late (and, I hope, sensible change) is another benefit of our new website and Latest News section.
