I would like to invite those who have been riding in the Leisure ride who wish to go a little faster, and those who have taken to riding outside of the club to join me in forming a new group of riders, riding at 14mph.
For the first outing, I though a circular ride around the South of Buckingham to Twyford Village Store cafe would be a good start. Avoiding long stretches into the wind with rolling, rather than long climbs. I cannot do anything about the weather unfortunately, so wrap up in long Jerseys and trousers, but it will be dry!
Distance: 35 miles (57km) @14mph = 2hrs 30, plus cafe stop.
Weather forecast: Cloudy 7-8 deg, Precipitation 10%, Wind 14-17 mph from the NE.
We have adjusted the speed categories to allow a better migration from leisure into the B group, B is now for any riders who average 14-16mph. The A ride has been reclassified as 16+ and all the previous group have moved into this category, to make room for you. So, please come along and ride with us.
I can’t ride this weekend but will join you soon . The Old b group were too fast for me and the c, too slow. So this fits perfectly, I wasn’t going to renew my membership but with the changes I will now.
Good to know Graham, It is what we suspected of a few riders. So glad we have not lost you, and look forward to planning some good routes and new cafe's together
New route...TCX and GPX files updated to first posting.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
