Re: Sunday 26th May Beacon C ride 45 miles 9am start
I'll probably meet you all at the café. However, it depends a bit on how I'm feeling and what the weather's like. By the look of it, you'll be there around 10:30. So, if I do come, that's what I'll aim for.

The club's Ride with GPS account has a ready-made 74km (46mi) route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45310150
That's a little shorter than I would usually plan for a club run. Do participants fancy doing the route 'as-is', or shall I tweak it slightly to get it up above 80km/50mi?
