Start (from 08:00 - 09:00) / Finish
(Theale Green School, Church Street, Theale RG7 5DA)
A really nice twist is the provision of a Porridge breakfast for everyone involved in the event. It will be a long day for riders and helpers alike, so everyone can start the day in the finest traditional way with a bowl of porridge.
