B ride to Broad Acres fisheries, Sunday 24th Mar, 9:15am

I'll lead a B ride to Broad Acres. As it's Gent Wevelgem on Sunday, we'll borrow from the theme of the spring classics (route based on a ride led by Nick Shenton a few yrs ago, but with a few tweaks)

Si T was the unfortunate recipient of a fl*t this wee...

Re: B ride to Clive's of Cropthorne, 09:15

Hi All,

Sorry, I didn't add the day. I was thinking of trying to avoid any rain and do this ride on Saturday 17th Feb (tomorrow) - there is a yellow weather warning for rain Sat evening through to Sunday. Could anyone signed up confirm if they'll be free to join on Saturday
