I’d like to join this ride please.

Hi guys, I’m also going to cry off due to weather. I purchased a £2k indoor trainer for days such as these.

Sorry.

Please add me.

Put me down.

I saw having a brew in Feckenham when I saw you all go past

Well that was all unexpectedly dramatic! For those as yet unaware, about 17 miles in I stopped with a mechanical, as my entire front brake came away from the frame! Stopping meant that the feeling came back in my fingers - along with that familiar intense pain. Although this time it appears to have...

I fully understand Phil. Just took me so long to get ready this morning. Still did a 60k ride around feckenham. Pretty grim out there today.

So sorry everyone, despite me starting to get ready at 7am I still managed to miss you by 2 minutes apparently

Add me to the list please.

Can anyone give a list of cafes that are open for takeaway at the moment?

Can I join this ride please?

Guys, I’m going to have to cancel this as I need to be back home for 2 to see family.

Sorry for the late notice.

I would like to join this ride please.

Can I clarify what time the B ride is departing as the return time would suggest 9 but the original post said all rides were leaving earlier than normal.

Looking forward to it.

Looking at the latest forecast I'm reluctantly calling off the C run 100 tomorrow. Will do it next week if the weather improves.

Great, can’t make tomorrow (suit shopping for my wedding) but look forward to next week.

I’d be up for a 100 miler but weather is looking awful for Sunday.

Is there going to be a C ride tomorrow? If so will it also be at 8:30?

I have 3 ladies who are all accomplished runners but are nervous about cycling. Trying to encourage them to come on the intro ride. What is the pace of the intro ride?

Tempted to do the B ride but worried about not being upto it and slowing everyone down.

I think I was broken yesterday. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so tired. Thanks for getting me home!!

Is there somewhere on the forum where I can download the gpx files for popular club runs?

Hope Ade made it back ok.

Will

So you may or may not be aware of a new cycling computer by a small company called Hammerhead. I pre ordered it in July last year and it finally shipped last week. The software is quite buggy at the moment but the Hammerhead team are dedicated cyclists who are determined to make this a Garmin killer...

An ad hoc C ride to Evesham, with John Hitchcock leading outward and Si Walker leading on the return leg, John diverting off home shortly after the cafe. Roads were generally filthy and some localised flooding in parts. The worst bit though was that there was no bread pudding left at the cafe!!! Ri...

I will lead the B run on Sunday to the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre. The route will be http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Be ... yre-Forest - my usual one to the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre. [The plotted route has an unnecessary trip along the dual carriageway and back between Day House Bank and Bel...

Successfully finished my first B ride. Certainly stretched me but thank to everyone, especially Dave for looking out for me and making sure I was alright.

Great ride and I didn't embarrass myself.

I hadn't been expecting many on the B run today because a lot of people would be on holiday - how wrong I was. I think 15 or 16 of us set from the Black Horse. One person apparently **flat**d very early on (before the Man on the Moon), but no message was passed forward and we didn't stop. Our secon...
