A bit of a hill sandwich: two flat bits with a few nice juicy hills in the middle!!

We'll target 14mph as overall average speed, but more likely that we'll only achieve 13 as I fear these hills will put a dent in our stats (I'll spin furiously rather that blow my ticker up)
There'll be a first stop at 60km (38 miles) at Herbies coffee house or Coffee#1 on the abbaye plaza in Evesham
followed by
- a second stop in Katie's in Chipping Camden at 93k and possibly some convenience store later on in the ride
- or a short stop at the convenience store at 112km in Mickelton (and possibly another one closer to the finish)
we'll play it by ear, as per the group's need and wishes but rest assure we'll rest a bit in places and you won't starve to death.
If this ride sounds like fun to you
, let's meet at the BH for a 8:30am departure. ETA for return 18h00Ced G (L)

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 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.
