This Sunday it is our whole-club solstice event, where we try and get as many people to join as possible and meet up as a whole club at the cafe. And we have something very special - a 100 mile clover leaf ride with three loops out and back to Buckingham, with the cafe stop on the second loop at Westbury, where all rides will meet up at around 11am. It would be great to have as many A riders join as possible to make it a special club event. (And if you cannot commit to the full time needed for 100 miles, there is the option say of just riding two loops.)
Length: 100 miles / 162km
Ascent: approx. 3400 feet / 1000m
Pace: probably at the lower end of our 17-19 mph range
Question for potential A riders - would you prefer:
a) Meet up at 7:30am for a 7:40 start, cafe at 11am / 55 miles, finish around 2:30-3pm*
b) Meet up at 8:30am for an 8:40 start, cafe at 11am / 38 miles, finish around 3:30-4pm*
*Very approximate - depends on cafe stop time, any other stops, legs, etc
My preference would be (a) but please let me know what you think, I'm happy to do either.
I hope you can come - and please sign up if so!
Note - while the loops are fixed, the order/direction we do them depends on the choice above. Attached is the route assuming option (a) - so to be confirmed.
