D RUN - SUNDAY 8TH AUG - THE VIEW 50 MILE +-

Post by PaulB » 02 Aug 2021 17:27

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
Thank You

Paul B

Hello Paul,
I am still in if you are ok, although I have never done so many miles. All for it to attempt it.

UODATE D RUN SUNDAY 8TH AUG

Hi

The weather has changed about 10 times since beginning of this week so lets see what the morning brings
I have a Plan A, B, C and D lol

lets see what the weather is like when we meet

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

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 !!!!
Looking forward to next week
