As the forecast is for gusts up to +45mph, ride cancelled reluctantly on safety grounds. Sorry folks.**
As per Paul's comments on the B ride, the weather forecast for Sunday is not looking great. Cold at around 3 deg C, 20% chance of rain and of most concern the wind, with gusts around 40mph forecast. If the weather forecasts worsens, particularly the wind, likely the A ride will be cancelled and the forum will be updated.
Assuming we have sufficient numbers that it makes sense to run a separate A and B ride, the A ride will also head to Harley Equestrian as per the B ride, but over a slightly longer route. If numbers are low, the A ride will join the B ride to make sure we have sufficient riders to share the work into the wind.
Destination: Harley Equestrian
Distance: 53 miles
Pace: 16 mph+ Avg.
Duration: ride time 3 hrs 30min plus the stop,
Gradients: Rolling
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

The roads are really mucky at the moment, so mudguards much appreciated.
Hope to see you Sunday.
