A ride to Westbury, 25 Feb - MEETUP 8:15!

It's the monthly club meet up and we're heading back to Westbury. Rather than repeat the previous route I am proposing something different: meet up 8:15 for an 8:30 start with an almost entirely front-loaded ride that takes in a big loop through Northants through Hanslope, Gayton and Blakesley before the stop, and just a short hop home afterwards.

Distance: 50 miles / 80km with the cafe not until 43 miles / 70km
Ascent: approx. 2300 ft / 700m
Speed: 17+mph (no dropped riders)

Hopefully this will be a good stretch so please sign up if you fancy joining the ride! However if not let me know (comments below or to me on WhatsApp) and I will come up with something else that works!

If we do this please make sure you bring some food to keep energy levels up as well as sufficient drink.

NOTE - start moved back to the usual 8:45 for 9:00. Idea is to cut a few km from the start of the route - I may not be able to update the route today but hopefully we can work it out.

OK, managed to edit the route. Attached is something that should be feasible starting at 9am:

Still fairly front-loaded so bring some nutrition/energy: 50 miles / 80km total, with cafe at 35 miles / 57km

Still need to keep an eye on conditions tomorrow, will make a call before 8am for those who may be travelling over, so silence your phone if you don't want a ping at that time!

Hope to see you tomorrow

My road is looking icy right now (7:30AM), so I'm going to give the ride a miss. By the time you set out from the pool hopefully it will be fine.

It’s very sketchy
