Cheers Trev, will sort it out

Let's keep up the tempo and get the 4 different rides going out again as we did last week please. Its starting to get darker a little earlier as well now so good idea to have your lights at the ready this week! Sign up below, leaving Northfield Cycles at 6.30 unless stated.

All present and correct on today's ride with no mishaps at all, a tailwind on the way out made it quicker then slower on the way back.
Special mention to Si Woodward and Cai on their first A runs, well done both!
Thanks to everyone that took a turn on the front

I can't use the holiday excuse (nor would people accept it!), but would like to join as well.
What is the limit for numbers? Don't mind leading a 2nd group if the one group is getting too big.

With you that's 10 so that will be fine Anthony.

Hi all I was hoping to come out with you guys for the first time on Tuesday if thats ok? I’m a little unsure on which group will suit me?

What pace roughly are the B and C runs tomorrow?

Hi Louise, the B run is around 14-15mph and the C about 12mph ish, hope that helps.

neilo

Wet for the first hour today but it brightened up after that, Kamran and Cai peeled off before the cafe to head back earlier. Food at the cafe was very good if not a bit slow to arrive, only problem was birthday boy Mr Stammers getting a f**t on his 47mm tyres! Hope to see you all on an A ride soon!...

neilo

Luke Hutcheson has dropped out so one space free if anyone wants to join.

neilo

Probably due to the weather but just 10 of us out last week with the A and B joining together as one group, Helen and Lucy met us along the way. The rain looks like it may hold off this week so let's try for four groups again! Can we have some more C runners to accompany the two girls please! Leavin...

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.

Of course Phil, see you in the morning.

neilo

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 depend who signs up! It will leave the Black Horse at 9:00am. The route will be ‪https://ridewithgps.com/routes/3568612...
