CHANGE OF TIME: MEET @ 8.45 for 9.00 departureWednesday ride to Culworth

Wednesday's ride takes us to Forge Coffee at Culworth (the Red Lion no longer offers outside morning coffee). As there are some hills involved there are 2 rides on offer:

A slightly shorter ride at 35 miles with 1475 feet of ascent:

A longer ride at just under 38 miles with 1,737 feet of climbing:

Meet as usual from 9.15 for departure at 9.30. As it looks like it will still be hot sun cream and plenty of liquid are advisable.

Probably the short one for me

Re Temperature - Any thoughts on starting earlier?

Happy to start earlier if everyone else does. With the school holidays there may (?) not be so much traffic. 8.45 meet for 9.00 departure? Everyone please respond to see if we have a consensus.

I'm happy to do that

I can go as early as needed

no problem especially as traffic should hopefully be lighter!

Early the better for me.

The earlier the better

I can do earlier the better 🌞

Need to rearrange a call but hopefully it should be OK. Please go anyway and I will meet you somewhere.

Fine by me thank you

Most have confirmed earlier start and I have contacted those who have not replied as yet to advise of the change. So now meeting at 8.45 for 9.00 departure.
