ROUTE UPDATED - following @James_R 's suggestion, we now head anti-clockwise. New routes below/attached are different from those posted before Saturday at 19:20.
For the A ride this Sunday, I'm reusing one of @DaveB 's routes from last year - albeit one he couldn't ride himself at the time!
Essentially we head 48 km NE into the wind via Beachampton, skirt north Milton Keynes, and Olney, to the cafe stop at the Boathouse, White Mills Marina, Earls Barton. Then we turn for home with the wind on our backs via Salcey Forest and Silverstone.
Weather looks dry and largely overcast, cooler than earlier in the week but not cold - the only slight issue being the 15 mph NE wind.
Length: 94 km / 59 miles, with the stop at 48 km / 30 miles
Ascent: 800 m / 2600 ft
Speed: 17 - 19 mph, depending on how we get on against the wind!
Look forward to seeing you - please sign up if you would like to come along!
