A group ride, Wed 27th June

Given the wonderful weather forecast (lots of sun plus a gently easterly breeze to help us on our way) I am planning a one-way ride to Winchester this Wednesday. It's just over 50 miles from our start point at Walton to Winchester rail station, and it's a very flat ride with only ~1800feet of climbing.  The plan is to visit the "Bat & Ball" pub (just south-west of Farnham) for lunch, and probably somewhere in or near Winchester for tea. There are lots of train options back from Winchester to wherever you need to get home to.

Here is the "Summer Baps" menu (I'll take orders in the morning and phone them through)

...or for those with bigger appetites (and deeper pockets) here is the full menu:

UPDATE  (after the recce ride):
1. It's 2700ft of climbing, not 1800ft, sorry! There are a few hillocks towards the end of the ride.
2. Hans will lead a group homewards (Walton direction) after lunch for anybody who has commitments in the evening.
3. I've "upgraded" my route to Simon's 2015 route because Simon's is much better!

Mike thank you for a great route today and company. I would love to do it again and stay over to see more of Winchester as it was a beautiful run into it - Mark was so gracious to see us over the finish line too. Best regards Frances
