I’m thinking of (finally getting round to) arranging a Sunday morning run out over some of my favourite roads! Starting from Winchester, over to Devizes, back to Newbury.
If you want to check out the route on a map, starting at Winchester (easily accessible from the M3 and A34), then heading up to Wherwell on an awesome road, quick nip two junctions along the A303 around Andover, then up to Ludgershall, then another amazing road across the edge of Salisbury Plain to Upavon, then on to Devizes for a break. The return route heading out through Rowde to get to Calne and the beginning of the best section of the A4 - I think it was 3 lane when it was the pre-M4 trunk road, now it’s a delightfully wide, open, flowing road with easy overtaking!
Each leg (Winchester-Devizes, Devizes-Newbury) is just over 40 miles; google says around an hour but I think probably less
General plan is breakfast at Winchester, tea in Devizes and lunch in Newbury unless people just want to head off home. I’ll be starting from Bristol so basically doing the route twice, oh what a hardship! 
Timings as yet unclear, depends mostly on what I find for breakfast in Winchester; early enough to avoid the traffic (not that there’s much) but late enough to have a decent start time!Finally, dates. 22 July is best for me but 5 August is also do-able; after that my next free Sunday is 9 September!!
So: vote for dates in the comments; the date with the most participants wins!
Breakfast suggestions at Winchester also welcome
