Mince Pie Ride to White Horse Hill 2014

Sun 7 December 2014 - 9:45am

Wantage Market Place

CTC Wantage cordially invite all local cyclists to join them for the annual festive ride from Wantage to Uffington White Horse Hill, which again is in aid of Whizz Kidz, the children’s mobility charity. This year the date is Sunday 7th December.
Guests and other cycling clubs are very welcome to join us at Wantage Market Place at 9.45-10am for the start of the rides or join us at White Horse Hill NT car park (grid ref SU 293866) from 11.15 to 12.00 for mince pies and mulled wine. All proceeds on the day will go to Whizz Kidz.
We will have road rides at 1*, 2* and 3* grades and an off-road ride – further details of the routes will appears on the Wantage website in the Autumn (www.ctcwantage.org.uk) . This is a very popular event, so please arrive in good time for registration. There will be a short briefing at 10 am. The 3* and off-road rides will set off soon after, the 2* ride 5 mins after that and the 1* at about 10:15.
Afterwards the rides will continue to The Fox at Denchworth for a pub lunch (at 13:00). There will also be a ride directly back to Wantage.
It would greatly help our planning if you could give us some advance notice of likely numbers. In particular, if you would like to join us for the lunch then you need to let us know by 1 December. Please contact Steve Boreham at promotions@ctcwantage.org.uk.

Ride report

John Tranter writes:  Thanks to everyone for their magnificent support for this, our main charity event of the year. Once again we were joined by many riders from local Clubs and we estimate around 130 cyclists enjoyed the delicious mulled wine and mince pies on White Horse Hill. Our collection for the Whizz-Kidz charity raised a magnificent £530!

For further details of the rides and some pictures from the day please see the ride reports on the CTC Wantage website.
