RIDE FULL: B run to Harvington Sunday 4 June

[George]

This coming Sunday, I'll lead a B run to Ellenden Farm Shop outside Harvington (the one near Evesham).

Start: BH 09:15 (meeting 10 minutes or so beforehand)
Distance: 91km/56mi
Terrain: gently rolling
Speed: 26kph/16mph
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34163488
Participation: up to 8 riders, including me
Registration: advance sign-up preferred, but on-the-line joiners welcome if the ride is not fully subscribed in advance (limit of 8 still applies)
Group riding: we'll ride in single file or pairs depending on road/traffic conditions; we'll try to remain a cohesive group the whole way by avoiding variations in pace; we won't go faster than advertised

NB: Unless the group includes inexperienced riders in need of guidance, I'll peel off before the end of the return leg.

Provisional rider list:
George Barker (L)
Nigel Douglas
Phil Gameson
Andy McGrath
Pete Norman
Mark Stammers
Simon Turner
Simon Walker

George, i’d like to join your ride please.

[Simmo]

Hi George could you put me down for this please.

[Dangerous]

Hi George , can you put me in for Sunday thx.

[George]

Thanks for your interest, Si, Si and Nigel. You're on the list. I just noticed that I had originally omitted the start time. That's now added to the headline post. Hope that you guessed that I'm intending a standard departure time.

No, you're not too late, Mark. I've added you to the list.

The ride is now full.

See you all tomorrow.

Hi George,

I may try a rare trip to the Black Horse tomorrow, so will join your group if that's ok

[George]

Well, I hope everyone was impressed by my practical demonstration of how not to prepare for a club run. I trust you will all find it very instructive.

Thanks very much for coming along; see you all again soon.
