Everyone present and correct on today's ride, unfortunately Amarjit had to turn back after about 3 miles with broken spokes. A few very close passes today which included a bus which will be reported!

Does someone have the route please? (Or happy to make one up.)
Also happy to lead an off-road ride if there’s demand (CX/gravel).

I've tagged you in on the Facebook page for the route Celia.

B+ run please. My first Club ride - just wanted to check what ~pace and distance is?

Hi Becky, B+ pace has been around the 18mph mark, distance is 32 miles which is relatively flat apart from a couple of climbs in Beoley, hope that helps.

Well I enjoyed my Tuesday evening! A combined A + B ride along with the C run were the two rides last time out. Hopefully we'll have 4 different rides going out this week as usual, sign up below and state whether you're willing to lead as well. 6.30 start from Northfield cycles unless stated. A run ...

Returning from an injured knee so B+ makes sense. Will As and Bs combine if there are only a few individuals?

Cheers

Depends who turns up Jon, Noel is the only B runner atm so we'll see.

Really enjoyed the C run tonight in such beautiful weather - averaged 13.2mph. A flat had us stopped for longer than expected (tyre wouldn't play ball) but that pub stop was a wonderful reward!

Hi everyone, great turnout last time out with 34 riders participating, let's try to beat that number this time out! The 2 B runs went out together but I'm still going to advertise 2 different B runs this time as well, B+ will be 17mph+ with the B being dictated by whoever offers to lead, shout up be...

A beautiful summers evening made this the biggest turnout yet with 34 riders in 5 different groups!

Looks like the average speed was 20mph+ for most...

Ok just stick to 6 o clock then.

I'm almost tempted by the normal B. If it's 15mph I should hang on, but not if 17. So I will be cautious and will go on the C. Not sure whethr Helen or Dave will join. If not or if some people are a bit tight to make it for 6pm, I'm happy to delay the start to 6:15 or even 6:30 Hi Cèdric, what time...
