Leisure Ride Sunday 1st March 2020

Weather Permitting, we will have a gentle 23mile ride via Deanshanger to Beachampton visiting the latest cafe to open within our riding range.
For the faster riders, there is an additional 5Km that can be ridden, half before the cafe, half after. If you choose to do so, you must download the alternate route, and nominate a temporary leader to follow for the extra loops, as my priority will be leading the Leisure riders.

Route: Maides Moreton, Foscote, Leckhampstead, Wicken, Deanshanger, Passenham, Beachampton [cafe Belge], Nash, Thorborough, Coombs, Padbury, Padbury Brook, Lenborough, Gawcott, Buckingham.

Weather: The forecast is for Sun, Temp 5-7 degrees with a windchill 0-1 degrees. If it turns out like Wednesday, the sun will make it feel comfortable. Wind fron the WSW at 17-20mph, so a bit blowy.

Please wrap up with layers, with particular attention to hands and toes. Carry a bottle to drink along the way, and a snack if you burn up energy quickly.
Carry a spare inner tube, as you will not want to try adding a patch in the cold. Of course, you will need tools to help you out.
And, wear a helmet!

I hope you are as excited as I am to support this new venture, as it is in a prime location for us to make use of throughout the season.

Looking forward to seeing you once again,
Malcolm

Will be there with Ollie and looking forward to a new cafe

Malcolm what is a realistic time for getting back to Buckingham?

Hi Alex,
23 miles @say a conservative 11mph, thats just over 2 hrs riding. The rest is getting served and chatting. The thing you cannot predict is punctures! Best guess 12:00 to 12:30.
