Saturday 20th Aug. 9:00am. 56 miles/90k C+ ride to Wellesbourne
Posted: 16 Aug 2022 09:10
I am intending to lead a 90k/56miles ride to Wellesbourne Saturday.
intended route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35685750. Expected pace 14mph
I am planning to have a café stop at the 'Touch Down café' we so often cycle past to see what it's all about.
If queues are really too long (as I understand it was the reason the club stop having café stops there) we could always go back to the Charlecote garden centre.
Meet at the BH for a 9:00 start
NB1: 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.
NB2: Please also note that due to a combination of overloaded bike, love handles and betablockers, I am slow going uphill. Do not expect Alps climbing performance from me. So do not be surprised if you'll probably all overtake me during climbs. We'll regroup at the top and carry on from there.
