SWCC B Ride 28-Jul-24

This Sunday all rides are planned to meet-up at the same cafe, The Forge, Whittlebury. So, have plotted a 49-mile undulating loop stopping for refreshments at the halfway point. This is an ideal opportunity to step-up to either the B or A rides with the option to revert to your normal ride group after the cafe stop [or visa versa of course!!].
The weather forecast looks ideal, sunny with very light winds.
Up for it? Then please tap the I'm Attending' button and I look forward to meeting at 08:45hrs Sunday morning for a 09:00hrs depart.

Hi Stewart,
Just a note, the route goes through Silverstone, then up Winter Hills road. That's a dead-end with a gate through a field and wood to Whittlebury. The route planner app should have grabbed the Whittlebury Road at the two mini roundabouts. It doesn't add mach mileage, but saves you getting to the top of Winter Hills with all the dog walkers and having to turn round and loop back.
Hope this helps.

hope to be there - we have guests this weekend and not sure about arr / dep times so I may be a late add on.

Thank you, Mark, appreciate your advice

I might try A after the stop, see how my legs are feeling.

Further to Mark's advice the route has been slightly amended. If using the GPX file please choose version (1), the Garmin file is correct.

A couple of other points .....................
If you are capable of riding the B pace of between 15-17mph please join this group opposed to the C Ride. Faster riders on the C ride jeopardises the group and is not fair to the riders who sign up for a 13-15mph pace.
Secondly, some of the Swans are meeting at The woolpack for a drink or two after the ride on Sunday, should you fancy it.

Hi @StewartB! Am I right in thinking we are going along the gravel Astwell track to Falcutt? (Just need to mentally prepare myself!😆)

Thank you for pointing out Kirsty, I will plot to go into Falcutt the other way.

@luke1809 you would be very welcome

Sincere apologies, please use the following links for the revised route

Thank you!😊

I'm hoping to join in the morning all being well 🤞

I'll meet you at the café, we're still trying to make the Aussie bikes fit Wizzair transport dimensions 😬

I’m sorry, but I’m unable to ride today. 😔 Have a good one!
