Seen the lack of enthusiasm for tomorrow, I shorten and flatten the original ride to something easier, hoping this late change will decide a few more to join.

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.
REVISED (shorter and flatter) Sunday 4th Sep. 9:00am. 80k / 50 miles C ride to Island meadows.

Had the pleasant surprise of a 4th mousquetaire joining us while discussing his front camera with James Bendle. So ended up with a nice little group, on a nice-ish day (dry and not requiring a jacket but a bit grey) for a pleasant stroll in the countryside:
