124 miles loop (Tewkesbury Evesham Charlecote) at 14mph. Sunday 15th May. 8:15 dep.

As per our plan to train for a 300km late this year let's keep putting some distance under our belts with another 200k ride :shock: .

For Sunday 15th May, I propose this Tewkesbury-Evesham-Charlecote loop: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39355788
200.4 km / 124.5 mi.
Bearing in mind last week and this one being a tidy bit more hilly but only marginally, I expect the average speed to be around 14 mph if we keep taking turn at the front but lets not push too much and let's keep focusing on managing the energy, hydration and effort over the whole ride bearing and managing all this as a team.

I propose 1 café stop midway in Evesham at the Hampton Ferry café and many smaller roadside stops for cereal/chocolate bars/gels/EPO/Nandrolone ;-) (so bring your ammunitions).

Meeting at the BH for a 8:15 departure. Return ETA 18:00/18:30 depending on pace and length of stops

Please note that due to medical reasons I use a handle-bar extender, a bit like TT-bars. I use this to relief the pain of NHS diagnosed trapped nerves in my wrists and elbow. I do NOT use these to ride like a TT racer, to draft behind others or similar performance seeking stunts.
Every bike ride, be it commute, ride alone or in group, entails its share of risks (bad road surface, motorised traffic, natural elements, our or other riders' mistakes or inattentions...). This is common knowledge and we all ride at our own risk. Nevertheless if my use of this extender this makes you feel uncomfortable, please do not join my rides.

Going to skip this one Ced and join you for the next step up to around 220km. Will probably do a B run this week.

Have fun out there.
