Hi Everyone

Time to bring back the D Run's for the slower cyclists among the club, Minimum 8 riders but if more we can maybe split group into 2, and be gentle with me lads and lasses, first time leading

Weather looks showery for Sunday buts that's a long way off so lets see nd keep an eye on the forum for changes if weather changes for the worse

I will be leading a run to The View, Wooton Wawen, 50 miler plus minus at a steady pace of 11 to 12 mph or as fast as the slowest rider

Route here -- https://www.strava.com/routes/2857311933270220094

I will put up a Ride With GPS route later in the week

Meet Black Horse, Northfield 9am for 9-15am depart

Any questions let me know

Can I join please Paul?

Im thinking of changing route and shortening it and going to Feckenham for a 40 miler if, A weather is showery etc and we will run into showers or, B, if 50 miles is too long or again the weather is showery

Lets see tomorrow morning and i will bring both routes

Hi Paul, just for your info, I believe the road past the Earlswood lakes is still closed. Totally closed with metal fences with not even a little gap for a mouse to sneak through. Or at least it was not very long ago when I attempted. Don't think it's been reopened since. So it would mean a few extra miles deviation. Just FYI

Good spot Ced, thank you

Updated route here guys

hi all

if its raining in the morning or when you are about to leave the house then don't bother as tomorrow's weather does not look good

not nice to ride in the rain and there is always next week

Hello Paul
The weather doesn't look good and it is raining slightly here. I don't think it is going to be better, so, as you have suggested, I won't bother.I hope you don't mind. Thank you for organising the ride which we will hopefully be able to do next week.

I have been living in England for more than 30 years and the weather still baffles me. Today was the perfect day to cycle, as soon as I made my decision not to go on the D ride !!!!
