The Beacon Message Board

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.

Hi George could you put me down for this please.

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

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.

Could you add me to the list please George?

I’m in thanks George
Andy McG

Both added; look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Put my name down please George;

Pete

You're in, Pete.

Am I too late to nab the last spot?

Cheers

Mark

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

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.

Phil Richards: participation list was names listed in blue at the top, plus:
