I'll lead a ride to Toddington, stopping at the railway cafe at 44 miles. Distance is 82 Miles return, out via Droitwich and return via Charlton and Bishampton, pace will be 14-15 mph.

Weather looks like it will be quite wet before 8:00 but settling down to be damp until mid afternoon. Hopefully not torrential but warm showers!

Due to the weather a couple of riders declined, Riders participating were as follows:

Si Walker (Leading)
Alan Weaver
Jon Sadler
Eugene Farrell
George Barker (at the 'cafe')

Despite the railway cafe supposedly being open it was closed, so we went to The Pheasant pub.

Count me in for this please Si.

Me to please Si

Me too please Si
Many thanks

Si me too. Promise no rampaging. ......

Si, I was supposed to be going on holiday this weekend... but suddenly I'm not. So I may pitch up at the café. Don't count me in the six though, because I won't be riding with the group (unless you catch me on the road -- my route will be the same as yours for the last few kilometres). If there are six on the ride, I'll sit on a separate table so that we stay within the rules. My current plans are based on the assumption that it'll probably be wet on and off but not hosing down. However, if it turns out to be like Wednesday's TT, I won't be leaving the house (or I'll be turning for home)!

I’m up for that ride Si. If it’s peeing down before leaving home I might not come.

Noted, see you there all being well.

Si,

Weather forecast from 10Am on indicates thunder/lightning. Will you update early tomorrow?

Cheers
Jon

Si,

If you do decide to cancel, please bear in mind that I will be leaving home at around 07:15 to ride up to the Black Horse

Si, I’ll see you at Quantry Lane just after Dayhouse Bank. I’ll be there at 8:15 waiting.

Ok, bring a coat!

Si I'm quitting the ride given the forecast
