The forecast for the weekend looks like it's going to be a tad chilly...as long as the roads aren't too bad, I'll lead a B ride to the Twisted Spoon in Upton Snodsbury

Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38305901

Hi Matt
Please can I join, thanks!
Louise

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

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?

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

Great. I look forward to it.

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.

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

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

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

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

Hi Michelle, great see you in the morning

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!

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

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
