RIDE FULL- Sunday 4th May- ‘C’ / ‘B’ ride to Upton, 08:45 start

Post by Si_Walker » 02 May 2025 14:37

***** RIDE FULL *****
.
As captioned, a 72 mile fairly flat route out to Upton. Out via Flyford / Pershore rtn via Crowle / Droitwich.
Speed will be ~14 mph, probably quicker outward than return leg.
It's 36 miles to the cafe so you may want to take some gels /bar /bananna etc.

NOTE: 08:45 start time.

8 riders max please for this ride, to sign up before the day.

Weather forecast is for it to be dry and cooler with a North Easterly wind.

Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50585015

(NOTE: I’ve billed this as a C ride for speed but B ride for distance).


Riders: at the Cafe were as follows;
A good effort by all and no incidents.

Chris Ankcorn
George Barker (at the cafe)
Alex Hopcroft
Andy McGrath
Alberto Recchioni
Si Walker (L)
Alan Weaver
Simon Whittaker
Simon Woodward

plus
Naomi Bell
Richard Greer
Andy Wrightson
