C run 24 March2024 - Broad Acres Fishery
I'll lead a C run this coming Sunday, roughly 80-90km (50-55mi) at 22 to 23kph (14mph). Departing BH at 09:15, route details to follow. Up to eight participants, including me, riding as a compact group at a nice even intensity. Advance sign-up preferred, but on-the-line joiners welcome if we haven't...

Big Coffee Stop #1, Sunday 24 March
This year, we're planning to have one weekend each quarter when all Sunday club runs converge on the same destination. The idea is to create an opportunity for everyone to mingle, instead of chatting only to the little group you ride with nearly every week. The dates that we have earmarked for these...

Re: C Ride Sunday 3rd March Snitterfield
Pete, I was originally planning to join you for a coffee. However, it now seems that we're expecting a significant overnight freeze tonight, and with my local lanes currently being so wet, I'm inclined to stay at home until mid/late morning. Have a good ride (if you go ahead), and stay safe.
