For our first A ride of 2022, we shall head to the Norsk Cafe in Haddenham (https://www.norsklifestyle.com/cafe). A fairly straightforward loop south, taking in a few climbs around Waddesdon and Ashendon, but it isn't rolling Northants so should be a good post-excess leg-loosener. Given this will be the first ride for a while for some, we shall probably be at the lower end of our normal pace.
The weather is currently forecast to have a 50% chance of rain, and a SW wind, although not so cold. Bring a jacket and ideally fit mudguards to your bike.
Distance: 80 km / 50 miles, with the cafe stop at 38 km / 24 miles
Ascent: approx. 600 m / 2000 ft
Pace: 17 - 19 mph (probably towards the lower end - no dropped riders)
Note: The cafe asks that we bring a mask.
Please sign up if you are interested and hope to see you Sunday morning.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
