For those of you (like me) who consider that you can have too much of a good thing, I will lead a B run of c. 50 miles on Sunday. I would expect the average speed to be around 15mph.
As the forecast is for showers on Sunday and I am not yet ready to stay inside at a cafe, this will almost certainly be a non stop "Beacon Burst".
This is the route, which is not particularly hilly:

There is the possibility of an outside stop at Hillier's Farm Shop Cafe just after the halfway point if everyone wants to.
I will be limiting the ride to 8 people, though I doubt that will be an issue.

Everyone one turned up at the Black Horse on time and we set off ok. Unfortunately my Garmin was playing up (no GPS a lot of the time), so time was wasted trying to sort that and then retracing our steps a bit once I gave up and someone else took over. Later on I get it working again, and as we had only encountered a small shower thus far we stopped at Hilliers. We were able to sit outside under cover, but it stayed dry. On the return leg my Garmin was completely unhelpful, but others were able to assist with the route. It started drizzling as reached Barnt Green, then tipped it down as we reached Northfield.
Apologies to everyone for time wasted because of navigational issues, and thanks to those who helped navigate.
