Sunday 25th June. 62 km / 39 miles gentle C burst.
We're Friday evening and still no C ride advertised so steeping forward for a GENTLE C burst.
Route will be https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37746654
Average speed target: 13mph (possibly 14 if I have recovered enough, but do not expect a super fast ride).
Meet at the BH at 9:00 for departure as soon as all there. So we should be back in Northfield shortly after noon.

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 tool bag 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.
Looking for a café for a stop in one of your ride? Why not use Mark's Magic Map to select a cyclist vetted place close to your route?.

Glad you all seemed to enjoy it. Sorry for the mis-advertising at 13mph which ended up well above 15mph (note to self: look at the definition of gentle in the dictionary). At least that way we all made it back home before the main heat of the day arrived.
