Phil, I'll join you at the WFVC and probably tag along for the first little bit of your return leg. At the advertised speed, I reckon you won't be there until about 11:30. So I'll aim for about the same time. If by any chance we miss each other, don't wait for me. I hope you have a good ride and ma...

PhilG

I'll lead a B run to the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre, leaving the Black Horse promptly at 9:15. This route is about 55 miles and is pretty hilly, so the average speed is likely to be around 14mph. https://ridewithgps.com/trips/74475411 The forecast for Sunday is cold (3 degrees) but dry. I won't canc...

PhilG

Me too please.

PhilG

A pleasant and uneventful ride.
No rain, but some flooded roads, weak sunshine and mild, but quite windy in places.
I think the cafe was open, but we decided not to stop.

I actually managed to lead a ride at slightly less than the advertised speed!

PhilG

I will lead a 50 miles B Run (average speed around 15mph), leaving the Black Horse promptly at 9:15. The route will be https://ridewithgps.com/trips/110094331 This is a relatively flat route. The intention had been to stop at the Yew Tree Café at Wootton Warren (almost exactly half way), but I suspe...

PhilG

Simon,

Can you add me to the list please?

PhilG

I'll lead a B Run to Charlecote leaving the Black Horse at 9:15. The 58 mile route is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/28996066 - it is not particularly hilly. I would expect the pace to be around 15mph, but dependent on who joins me. On the ride today: Phil Gameson (leading) Trystan Macdonald Adrian ...

PhilG

Hi Can I join you please unless it's pouring!!! A quick question and some confusion!! Phil has suggested the same start date for all rides ie 9.15am but you have mentioned 9am arrive for a 9.00am start and not a 9.15am - can you please clarify - thanks Michelle, I set my start time to coincide with...

PhilG

I'll lead a B run to Warwick, LEAVING the Black Horse at 9am (not 9:00 for 9:15 as I assumed last week!). Sorry if this does not fit in with the latest guidelines of a 9:15 start, but I didn't realise at the time and will be sticking to the 9am start now that many people have signed up. The route is...

PhilG

Mariana,

Could you add me to the list please?

Please add me to the list.

PhilG

Phil,

Can you add me to the list please?

PhilG

Ewan,
Please add me to the list.

PhilG

Si,

I would like to join you, but in view of the predicted temperatures I will turn back after the first hour or so.
If you get 8 riders wanting to do the full rider then I will drop out.

PhilG · Re: B+ Burst Run Sunday 24th July @ 8:30am Stu, Please add me too.

Stu,

Please add me too.

PhilG

Nick, as I was not intending to do the full route anyway, If we meet at Belbroughton I’ll only do a few miles with you,
So I’ll do my own thing,
Enjoy your ride!

PhilG

Nick, I would like to join you, but will probably turn back before the cafe as I don’t fancy such a long ride in the heat.

PhilG

Matt,

Sorry about the short notice, but I would like to join you for the first hour or so

PhilG

Thanks for a great ride today Matt, and all your hard work at the front on a very windy day.

PhilG

Can you add me to the list too please?

PhilG

Kamran,

Could you add me to the list please?

PhilG

I started the ride too, but **flat**d with a split tyre before Weatheroak. I decided it was unwise too continue, particularly as there was some off road sections to come.
I replaced the inner tube, put a patch over the damaged area of the tyre and made my way home (about 4 miles) gently.

PhilG

James,

I would like to join you.

PhilG

Only two of us on the ride today. The dry weather was a real bonus after the forecast rain. The roads were also remarkably dry so neither of need to have bothered with our winter bikes. A pleasant ride with no incidents, and I managed to keep pretty much to the predicted speed (15mph estimate, 15.3m...

PhilG

Rob,

Yes it’s still on, see you in the morning.

PhilG

It looks like it will be damp at the very least on Sunday, so I am proposing a shortish 50 miles B run to Hilliers Farm Shop. The route is relatively flat. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35686129 I would expect the pace to be around 15mph. Please sign up if you would like to join me. Phil Gameson (L...

PhilG

Stu,

I would like to join the ride as far as Great Witley.

PhilG

Phil,

I'd like to join the ride for the first hour and a bit from the Black Horse, before heading back on a slightly flatter route.

PhilG

Phil,

I will join for an hour or so from the Black Horse, then head for home again.

PhilG

Nick,

If no one signs up for my B ride, I'd like to join you for the first 25 miles or so.

PhilG

I'll lead a 50 mile Beacon Burst (non stop) in the general direct of Alcester, starting at 8:45 at the Black Horse: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/75485531 The route is relatively flat, with the steepest climb probably being up to Astwood Bank. I would expect the average speed to be between 15 and 16...

PhilG

I will lead a non stop ride of 50 miles starting from the Black Horse at 8:45am. I would expect the average speed to be about 16mph, but will depend on who turns up - no one will get dropped! The route is relatively flat. It includes nearly 4 miles "off road" on the Kenilworth Greenway, but the surf...

PhilG

Please sign me up too.

Just as well I don't mind a lumpy route!

PhilG

Hi,

Phil Gameson (Leader) Ade Ravenscroft Just the two of us on the ride today. Our first stop was just past Northfield ...

Hi Phil

Could I join please?

It'll be my first club run for some time but have finally got an opportunity to join one!!

Andy, look forward to seeing you at 9am tomorrow.

PhilG

I'll lead a B run to the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre on Sunday, leaving the Black Horse at 9am on Sunday. https://ridewithgps.com/trips/74475411 This is a minor variation to my standard route to the Wyre Forest Visitor Centre (avoiding Sheepwash Lane). It is pretty hilly 55 miles - Ride with GPS says...

PhilG

I'll lead a B Run to Warwick this Sunday starting at 8:45 at the Black Horse. Si requested a route via Snitterfield, and so here we have it (one of his!): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35579693 As predicted it is around 55miles without too much climbing. We will have a coffee stop in Warwick, proba...

PhilG

Pete,

I would like to join you as far as the café. I have to get back early tomorrow so I won't stop.

It doesn't look like this ride will be full, but I am guessing if I am not stopping at the café I don't count in the numbers...

PhilG

Neil,

Can you add me to the list please?

PhilG

Neil,

Can I take you up on your offer of a place on your ride?

I have had no takers on my ride, possibly due to the position of the post on the message board.

PhilG

With no takers for this (last minute) club run and Neil offering me a place on his ride, I have cancelled this ride. As the other two rides are full, I will leave a B run of about 50 miles, including outdoor cafe stop at Hilliers Farm Shop. I would expect the pace to be around 15mph, but it will dep...

PhilG

George,

My 1989 Reynolds 653 framed bike and I would like to be included please.

I would be grateful for a route a couple of weeks in advance as I currently have a rather high bottom gear (42 x 18) which could probably be swapped if absolutely necessary.

PhilG

Pete,

Could you please add myself and my daughter (Ruth Gameson) in too please?
I think that takes it to 8 in total?

PhilG

Si,

Can I be the 8th rider please?

Good luck keeping this rabble to 14mph!

PhilG

Matt,

I would like to join you.

I'll check the thread again in the morning, just in case you decide to cancel due to poor take up...
