A fantastic ride - apart from the Malmesbury to Bath section, there seemed to be a bit of a tailwind all the way around!  The yellow and polka dot bikes just outside Whitchurch were a nice touch!  The views on the way up to Hackpen Hill were absolutely sublime in the sunshine.  Many thanks Postie.

An exquisite ride all round, made all the better by being able to enjoy really good food at all the controls (yes, even Whitchurch Coop provided a fresh Danish pastry, some lovely granola bars and fresh milk at around 8am).

Thanks Postie for the great organisation  :thumbsup:

A talented young cyclist, but equally a very keen waiter.

Splendid tour in great weather. Clear views on the whole route from the South Downs to Bath and everything inbetween. Thanks for your company Veloboy and Chris P. Even more thanks Mr and Mrs Postie and the ever helpful Sam.

Definitely a good day a wheel with fine company. Will order a new ACP top soon as I'm allowed. Think Jeff was concerned for my safety riding thru the Pompey suburbs in a Southampton top,

Fantastic route, company & weather
Proper Audax breakfast outside Whitchurch Co-op
Crazy rough stuff through Savernack forrest to avoid a few miles of A road - what were we thinking?
White Knuckle ride down into Bath Easton
Struggling to get food from Jersey pockets to mouth as I used all my reserves to hang on the back of a fast moving ACP Peleton down the Wylie Valley
Luminous Green Beer in Salisbury - yes really
& of course Mrs P's great home cooked food at Arivee

Most definitely a great day out :thumbsup:
