With all the rain lately it was good to have a nice sunny day for the run. The start was at Chieveley Services - A34 / M4 junction 13 and then on to East Ilsley, Wantage, Letcombe Bassett, Hungerford, and on to the The Pelican Inn for a 2 hour lunch break. Back on the road it was off to Pewsey, Avebury, Marlborough, Lambourn and back to Chieveley Services. A total of 110 miles. A great Sunday drive! Thanks to Harpo for organising the run.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8238310631184026755-2344478115367475007?l=thebigreds.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thebigreds.blogspot.com/feeds/2344478115367475007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8238310631184026755&amp;postID=2344478115367475007' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238310631184026755/posts/default/2344478115367475007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8238310631184026755/posts/default/2344478115367475007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thebigreds.blogspot.com/2007/05/ridgeway-run.html' title='The Ridgeway Run'/><author><name>Robbie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01240589398061499511</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u293/minicoopers1/Logos/button_01a.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-15dTbOXNhA/RlCA00IMf5I/AAAAAAAAABQ/ukLg6Rwwii8/s72-c/DSCN1979.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238310631184026755.post-1711949318948341609</id><published>2007-05-14T18:03:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-05-14T18:55:40.365Z</updated><title type='text'>MINI2 Charity Ball</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-15dTbOXNhA/Rkipm1t3lJI/AAAAAAAAAA4/szJ4pae1_SM/s1600-h/DSCN1917.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-15dTbOXNhA/Rkipm1t3lJI/AAAAAAAAAA4/szJ4pae1_SM/s320/DSCN1917.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064484265697711250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-15dTbOXNhA/RkipYFt3lII/AAAAAAAAAAw/ibnu2pp7Cgo/s1600-h/DSCN1914.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-15dTbOXNhA/RkipYFt3lII/AAAAAAAAAAw/ibnu2pp7Cgo/s320/DSCN1914.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064484012294640770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We attended the MINI2 charity ball on Saturday which was in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
