The detials from Phil & Julie for their ride on Saturday 22nd August.

This stretch of the Bourne Rivulet / Test Valley is breathtaking with chocolate box cottages all along the route. We get to cross the chalk bed River Test several times. It still had plenty of water when we visited on Wednesday 12th August. Meet at St Mary Bourne Community Shop and Cafe (SP11 6BE, entrance opposite The George Inn, over the bridge) at 9:30am. There is a large free car park. We suggest you park in the NE corner. If you are driving from the north, the A343 south of Newbury is a beautiful and exhilarating drive to Hurstbourne Tarrant, where you turn east towards St Mary Bourne. Lunch is at The Plough Inn, Longparish (SP11 6PB) at 1pm. The menu is attached. Total distance is 22.5 miles, and the lunch stop is after 17 miles. There are plenty of sections of tree canopies, so a rear light is advisable. We will depart from the community cafe at 10:30am. The cafe would like to know numbers (so they can ensure sufficient staff) and I need to let the pub know numbers and menu choices, so please let Phil and Julie know at the latest by Tuesday 18th August. Please email philipharmer2@gmail.com or telephone 07767 600 943. Kind regards, Phil. (NB a note from Pauline - I purposely haven't added route files as this often stops the email being recevied by the recipient. If you are going and would like the route, please let Phil know) ** FOR SALE New - LADIES fit, full zip, short sleeve XL jersey. Cost GBP45, selling for GBP30 plus postage which is expected to be around GBP3 - please contact Chris Jones +44 (0) 7534 181867 if you are interested Phil & Julie(Login to see contact details)
