You're both in Noel and Chris.
I hope the weather will be better than today's, else I might call it off as I am not that keen on catching a pneumonia

Sign me up please Cedric! We'll try to get another pic of you with a bigger windmill in the background this time https://scontent.fbhx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/181590865_1930826970392032_4253433155109362226_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=dbeb18&_nc_ohc=p6llfTc1LtoAX_sHGUs&_nc_ht=scontent.fbh...

Route will be https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35287366 . Nice 68 miles - 109 km at something like 13.5 mph - 22 km/h average (and my usual 6 mph when uphill _Q where you'll have to wait for me at the top :wink: ). As always with me, there will be NO LONG café stop. No 45 minutes stop for 3 course mea...

CeGi

Cedric, it will be a steady pace over this distance, the average will be 14 ish, but will be faster on the way out to Tewksbury, and then slower as we on sections around Bredon Hill and others obviously. Looking at your form today you'll be fine. I'll add you and if you decide otherwise let me know...

CeGi

Looks like the fastest selling out ride ever ! I hope I'll be fine, but when I look at all the other names, I feel like the ugly little weakling. Published today's ride pictures as you requested in the message board entry for the ride, at the bottom. That way you can download them in full res if you...

Cheers Cedric, great trip out today.

Glad you enjoyed it. So did I.

CeGi

Hi Si,
I'll have the last place if you don't mind.
14mph is OK, but if you're all going to smash it at 15mph or more, then I'll leave this space to someone else.

CeGi

Sorry to hear that. Hope she recovers well. Take care

Hi Cedric, can you add myself (Si Walker) and Si Turner please? Thanks

Welcome to the party.
I suddenly feel some more weight on my shoulders to lead a group with such long-standing and respectable members of the club

Cedric,
Can you add me in. Thanks.

You're both in guys. Will be a pleasure to ride with you again

CeGi

I'll volunteer again, this time for a flatter and slightly longer ride. Route will be BH - Ullenhall - Bidford on Avon - and back to BH 52 miles. Approx 4 hours ride at something like 14 mph average (and for me my usual 6 mph when uphill :wink: ). If you want to download the route: https://ridewithg...

Count me in! Love to have the last slot for my first group ride with the club.

Hi Joe, You'll be our 8th rider then. Unless Noel now wants to spawn a second C ride.

Hi Cedric.

Please could you add me to the ride.

Thanks,

Laurie

With pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you sunday

CeGi

Hi Noel. Thanks for offering. I should also mention that it was agreed that bursts without a cafe stop could host 8 riders, but obviously that would be up to the ride leader. 🙂 Chris Hi Chris, Yes I am aware I can take up to 8 instead of just 6. I have no problem with that. Actually last week-end N...

Count me in thanks

So obviously the hills yesterday did not put you off that much

See you sunday

CeGi

Not seeing other rides coming up yet for the coming week-end, I'll volunteer again. But other can volunteer too as I sure we could have 2 C-ride full again as the weather is meant to be OK. Route will be BH - Romsley - Bellbroughton - Caddesley Corbett - Ombersley golf club - Elmbridge - Fairfield a...

Glad you all seemed to enjoy it. Thanks for coming

Colin and Katie are on the list now.

Ok will do to enlarge my collection

Welcome to the party Pete

Hi Dave, not trying to join this ride (as I will be leading another C-ride in parallel) but would be interested if you had a gpx route for it. I discovered that area thanks to your ride from a few weeks ago (titled something like 'my favorite lanes') and would be keen on discovering this area a bit ...

It will be nice meeting you

Hi Mariana, you're in.
Will be nice indeed to finally meet. Hopefully a good rehearsal before our longer ride to Chesterton Windmill ?

CeGi

Sorry for the late notice, but I've decided to risk my second ever attempt at leading a ride for the club. Thinking of using the same route as last time which seemed to have been enjoyed by those crazy enough to accept me in a position of leadership! Route will be BH - Barn Green - Tanworth in Arden...

Thanks for today sorry about slowing you down near the end

You did not. No worries. We're always slower on the way back and we did the forecasted average anyway.

CeGi

Many apologies, but I’m not feeling 100%. In the current environment, better that I pass on this one and let someone else take my place if they see this in time. Many apologies and hope you have a great ride! Sorry to hear that. Get well quick. No worries, there was still one space left so nobody m...

Hope not to much hill you got a route in mind I created a route based on a usual 'backbone' with as much country lanes as possible. A few hills (we unfortunately do not leave in the Netherlands :( ) but nothing major. Have no fear, I am a snail in the hills. The courageous young studs can whizz by ...

You're in John. Looking forward to riding with you.
The more riders the better, more manpower to push me when it goes uphill !

CeGi

Sorry for the late notice, but I've finally mustered my courage and will give it a go at leading a gentle short ride. This will be a relatively short ride bearing in mind how late in the season we are, 42 miles. Approx 3 hours ride with no coffee break . We'll be heading South - South East, so will ...

On the C ride were :
Dave Cox
Dave Little
Kamran Anwar
Finbarr Costigan (up to the cafe)
Geoff Mann
Adrian McHugh
David Stephenson
Cedric Gioan (Leading)

Sorry for the time it took me to get it posted (as a inexperienced leader I forgot to take the names during the ride)

That only leaves a B-run leader to come forward, weather forecast looks excellent, so let's celebrate Bastille Day by avoiding national stereotypes, leave your string of onions at home and having a full set of club runs.

Maybe motivated by the fact that the 14th July is the national day in my original home country, I will try to follow Finbarr's courageous exemple and propose to lead a C ride to Warwick.
