A Ride Sunday 18th November

Hi Swans,

See post for new route. Route updated to Salcey Forest due to late opening of Waterside Cafe. Distance increased to 56 miles**

Weather forecast for Sunday is looking like it should be dry but fairly cold with the wind from ENE. Plan is to head out in a a general NE direction to Stoke Bruene stopping at the Water Side Cafe. Terrain is generally rolling as we head out to Stoke Bruene but the return leg will be easier with hopefully a tail wind to push us along.

Destination: Stoke Bruerne Waterside Cafe
Distance: 48 miles
Pace: 16+ mph (Dependent on the group, but likely pace ~ 17 mph)
Duration: ride time 3 hrs plus stop
Gradients: 1850 ft of ascent

Route: Heading North to Silverstone, Blakesley, Maidford, Pattishall, Blisworth and then to the Cafe stop at Stoke Bruerne. Return leg we head Paulerspury, Deanshanger, Beachhampton, Thornborough, Padbury and in to Buckingham.

Looks good Phil - thanks for leading

Route update
Folks, bit of a school boy error on my part.

Waterside Cafe does not open until 11AM in the winter, and I expect we would hit the cafe stop at around 10:30 AM. So posting an alternative route with a diversion over to Salcey Forest to meet up with the B ride. Distance increases to 56 miles, hopefully that's OK with folks. If not can discuss in the morning and revert to the original route. I'll have both routes downloaded.
