  • Hi Swans,

    As we had a relatively short A ride last week I thought I'd put the following ride out for feedback. If we think it's too ambitious, or if the weather forecast worsens, I have a shorter ride I can propose as an alternative and save this route for another time.

    Its a 60 mile route which allows us to get out as far as Edge Hill and enjoy a well earned café stop at the National Herb Centre shortly after we complete the Edge Hill climb. As you might expect the route is "rolling" on the way out to Edge Hill with 3500 ft of climbing.

    Weather forecast is looking dry up to 1PM, 11° temperature, wind from the S at 14+ mph.

    Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/13138826

    Let me know what you think, and we can fall back to easier route based on feedback.

  • Ahh Phil, I would love to do that but can’t do this weekend. Will download for a future ride or if it gets delayed. Enjoy!

  • Sounds good to me Phil - happy to go with the flow

  • Looking forward to a new route and stop. As we could be averaging 16mph (groups minimum speed) and including a half hour stop, it could be a four and a half hour ride. Just wondering if we should start earlier?

  • Good call Guy

  • earlier?

  • btw could you add 4km please as it has 96km at the moment ;))

  • Wolfgang, you are more than welcome to ride up and down Edge Hill while everyone else enjoys the cafe :-).

  • I'm fine with an earlier start, how about a sharp start at 8:30AM? Wolfgang?

  • I’m back Saturday night and intend to be there depending on how I feel, ok.

  • Ok, be good to have you along Paul.

  • Shall we meet at 8:15 for an 8:30 start? As soon as we are agreed I will update the ride calendar and put a message on Facebook.

  • Fine with me.

  • Paul, Pat, Wolfgang? Ok with the earlier start?

  • 8:30 start is good for me

  • Just to confirm then, meet up at 8:15 for 8:30 start. If that’s ok with you Phil I will update calendar.

  • Fine with me.

  • 8:15 meet it is then

  • I will take my broken body along with you

  • Glad you can make it Tim. 8:15 for 8:30 start.

  • Will give this a go, though could be a challenge!

  • Walked 30 mls this week can’t remember the last time I did that? So see how it all goes 🤔🚴‍♂️

  • Just a last reminder its 8:15 AM for an 8:30 AM start tomorrow. It's also 35 miles to the cafe stop, so you might want to carry some food.

  • Brilliant Ride - Thanks again Phil!!
