Hi Matt
I'll join you on Sunday as well. Cheers

Matt, I'd like to join you at the café and I might even try to hang on at the back for the first part of your ride home. Don't include me in your head count, though, because I don't want to deny anyone else a place on the ride -- if the ride fills up, I'll ride separately. I guess you'll get to US about 10:45?

[Matt Hale]

Hi George, yes would expect to be arriving at the café around 10:45...be good to see you there

[George]

Great. I look forward to it.

[stuart jones]

Hi Matt, please sign me up, looking forward to it. Stuart

What speed are you planning to go tomorrow? I have put myself down for the c ride as I'm not super confident about my fitness - seem to be struggling as I've not been well for a while. I could always drop off with George if needs be - it's also as you say pretty cold tomorrow especially first thing!

Michelle, while it would be a pleasure to ride with you, I should point out that I will only be riding a short part of the route back to B'ham (about the first 16km/10mi). I plan to branch off near Wychbold and make my way home via Cutnall Green, Dunhampton and Holt Heath.

[michelle]

That's not a problem as I'll have the route on my computer - just want to know about the speed you think you'll do on the ride

[Matt Hale]

Hi Michelle, I would expect it to be around 15mph for the overall ride... faster on the way out. Be good to see, if you decide to join us

[WorcsPhil]

Hi Matt, I’ll also meet you at the cafe if that’s ok

[Matt Hale]

See you there Phil

Pop my name down please! Cai

Hi Matt
OK - I'll give it a go as long as I feel OK in the morning - I'll message you if I'm not coming!
Thanks

[Matt Hale]

Hi Michelle, great see you in the morning

[stuart jones]

Hi Matt/All, just checked a good barometer road near mine and there is black ice and the road surface in general is slippy despite not looking frosty, all that rain yesterday. I won't be out due to the conditions but look forward to joining you all again soon hopefully. Stuart

Morning
Me too - will go out a bit later when the frost has gone and it's a couple of degrees warmer - it's not worth the risk - if anyone wants to ride later, just post. Ride safely!

[LouiseCrow]

Hi - Apologise I’m going to do the same and go out later. Michelle what sort of time were you thinking?

[cai_bl]

I'm also going to leave it an hour or so! Cai

Hi Louise
Just seen your message - fell back to sleep!
Not sure if this is too late but we will be setting off from Bournville in half an hour - gong to do the c ride route - probably will stop but it won' be as quick as the group ride - my mobile is 07757 616917 if you want to ride
