Weather good for this time of year, so a ride to Thrift Farm is on the cards this week, with a total distance of 32 miles.
Riding as much as possible through the winter will pay dividends in the spring with the return of warmer weather. You will maintain your fitness, and surprise yourself how you are able to surpass your best effort this year.
Clothing wise, It will still feel cold so wrap up warm, with protection for fingers, toes and head.
As always, make life easy for yourselves and fellow riders, carry a spare inner tube and tools. In cold conditions you want to minimise the time stood around losing your body heat. Bring a drink for the journey, and change for the refreshment stop, to get a hot drink ☕ possibly 🥓 too.
Helmets must be worn.
We meet in the carpark by the cyclerack at 08:45 to sign on, for a 09:00 start.
I hope to see you on Sunday, for another leisurely ride through the Bucks countryside.
