INTRO RIDE-RIDE FULL-Sunday 6 June to Wootton Wawen-meet at 9:00
June's intro ride will be led by myself and Dave Jones. The route will be 32 miles at a gentle pace of 10 to 12 mph or the pace of the slowest rider.
The destination is The View Café in Wootton Wawen via Tanworth-in-Arden and returning via Ullenhall. There can be up to 8 riders and we will split into 2 groups at the café.
This ride will be ideal for newcomers to club cycling or cyclists returning to the sport.

The route is below, along with some photographic highlights of the ride which seems to be "la mode" recently!

There are a few small hills especially on the way back but no big climbs.
Meet at the Black Horse at 9 AM for a 9:15 start.

Chris Yan (L1)
Dave Jones (L2)
Helen Jamieson
Julie McLeod
Steve Vaughan
Marie-Lucie Gioan

UPDATE: All present and correct on this ride. Many thanks Dave for your support at the back! Met up with George Barker at The View Café and we spread out over 3 outdoor tables. We were also lucky enough to see Mariana's C ride group that sat at a separate table.

Re: INTRO RIDE Sunday 6 June to Wootton Wawen-meet at 9:00
On a more serious note Chris,
I saw that you included my favourite hook towards the end to avoid going back on Redhill road for as long as possible.
Just so that you know, the whole of Wasthill lane has recently been resurfaced with that loose gravel cover type. I did climb it Friday afternoon, but it's a bit harder than usual as it affects slightly the grip. It being probably the steepest part of your whole ride, you might want to go and test it, or reroute that bit to avoid their baptism of fire to be to harsh

I rode it too on Saturday. If the job isn't finished by Sunday I was planning to return via Redhill Rd.

Re: INTRO RIDE-ONE SPACE LEFT-Sunday 6 June to Wootton Wawen-meet at 9:00
I’d like to come if there’s still a space left please? Really need to blow those lockdown cobwebs away!
Re: INTRO RIDE-RIDE FULL-Sunday 6 June to Wootton Wawen-meet at 9:00
Thanks to all who rode today. I had a great time meeting everyone. There was a good mix of "C" and "D" pace riders.
With this in mind I plan to organise another D pace ride next Sunday so keep an eye out for this

Omg I’m ded! Lol.
Thanks for today. The cafe was lovely and the weather wasn’t too bad in the end. I could so tell I’ve not been on a club run in maybe 20 months?!?! I’m feeling every one of the 40 miles I did!!! Time for the hot tub.

Hi Chris and Dave,
A big thanks from Marie-Lucie. She adored it. "It was a perfect ride". She's definitely interested for D rides. She's not sure yet she'll manage faster C rides

Not sure I’m doing this right as I can’t see details of this Sundays ride or even if I’m replying in the right place
