Jill & Martin's ride

Starting from Horseshoe Lake Cafe at 10:00. 25 miles, E.

The plan is to meet at Horseshoe Lake  Mill Ln, Sandhurst GU47 8JW (What3Words ///spicy.field.venue) at 10:00 for a 10:30 departure. As you come into Horseshoe Lake there is a public car park on the left (Max Headroom 2.1M) or if the height or space is an issue then we can use the Car park for the Watersports Area (Max Headroom 4.5M). There is a cafe at Horseshoe Lake but it has limited space inside but plenty of space with cover if required for the hardy outside (well it is popular with dog walkers and wild swimmers).


We are planning lunch at The Bull at Riesley. Basingstoke Rd, Riseley, Reading RG7 1QL Route out is 25kM (15Miles). If we are running ahead/behind schedule I have some options to increase or reduce the route. We will need to confirm numbers and Menu choices by Friday 10 October. So if you are joining us please confirm by email
martin.morrell@ntlworld.com and confirm your food choice. We are planning lunch for 12:30 with the ride back departing 13:30-14:00. 

Our ride back to Horseshoe Lake is 16kM (10 Miles). The Cafe will still be open for those looking for something before the drive home.
