I'll lead a B ride to Clive's of Cropthorne -
Saturday 17th Feb. A bit longer than normal, but good to step up the distance slightly for anyone riding the Snowdrop/Sunrise on 24th Feb. Leaving the BH at 9:15

Hi All,
Sorry, I didn't add the day. I was thinking of trying to avoid any rain and do this ride on Saturday 17th Feb (tomorrow) - there is a yellow weather warning for rain Sat evening through to Sunday. Could anyone signed up confirm if they'll be free to join on Saturday

Three of us departed the BH, good ride out to Pershore avoiding most of the flooding (apart from an errant land rover at the ford on Sleaford Lane, measuring 4' deep....see pics on Si T's Strava) and almost made it to Cropthorne without incident. Si T was the unfortunate recipient of a fl*t this week, less than quarter of a mile to the café stop. Worth noting cut off time for breakfast is 11:30, but good service and decent food/coffee. We enjoy a favourable tailwind on the way back and home before the rain arrived. Good day all round... bring on the audax next w/e
