Saturday 29th. 131km/81miles ride @ 13-14 mph to Tamworth Castle

[CeGi]

Ian and I fancy a change of scenery from the usual roads. Will be going to Tamworth castle, hoping the route I designed will be OK:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39074510
Speed will be 13mph, possibly 14mph.
There'll be one coffee stop halfway somewhere like Kingsbury water park, or maybe 2 stops if the group prefers.
Meet at the BH SATURDAY for a 9am departure.

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 elbows. 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, despite sanctioned by the BRCC committee, 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.

Ride started with a few showers, but later the sun won the fight and we had overall a glorious day.
Great to discover new roads, even if misteriously the way there was flat and the way back hilly !!!
Lots of fun with a nice bunch:
