You are invited to join a train assisted ride to Bentley in Hampshire next Wednesday 29th May. We will be having elevenses at the Woodham Centre in New Haw (KT15 3ND) and heading to Ash near Aldershot for lunch at The Greyhound, a distance of 15 miles.

We need to pre-order from the menu  Food and Drink at Greyhound Aldershot in Aldershot (pubanddining.co.uk)

After lunch, we head south to Tongham through some lovely lanes to Alice Holt Forest for tea. The afternoon ride is 13 miles and  a little more undulating but nothing we can’t handle! The café in Alice Holt Forest closes at 4pm and if any group is not going to make this, there is the option of Haskins Garden Centre  where the  café closes at 5pm.

Now to the train bit of the ride. The route leads us directly into the back of Bentley station where the line joins the main line back to London. There is one train an hour at 14:51, 15:51 and 16:51 and then another at 17:21. When we did the recce on Tuesday the train was very quiet and plenty of room for our bikes. The advance fare on Trainline is £13.60 and some of you may have railcards as well.

So, if you would like to join us on Wednesday please can you email me with  your lunch choice by Sunday evening.
