Wednesday 27 March rides to Hogshaw Farm cafe

Wednesday’s rides will take us to a new cafe, for some, Hogshaw Farm cafe. As it is the Easter school holidays the cafe may be busy but we are expected.

Owing to the road works in the area we will have to thread our way around them.

2 rides on offer.

36 miles, stopping at 20 miles:

The weather forecasts are currently predicting rain again for some of the time at least so waterproofs and mudguards are advised. There is also the prediction of gusty winds from the south. If the weather looks like it will be heavy rain all of the time then a decision as to whether to go ahead will be made early Wednesday morning.

An early warning guys that both myself and John are not feeling great and may drop ‘can’t make it’ out in the morning, so please any attendees enjoy the ride, so please ensure you have the route loaded, okay 👌

Sorry guys but I will have to pull out as I have what feels like flu. As there may now only be 3 of you should be easy to agree the ride leader.

Doing the same for the same reason, thanks John see you all soon

@PaulW @JohnH, that's a bummer, get well soon 🤒

Sorry to hear this guys. Hope you feel better soon

Thanks for organising @JohnH the ride went well with Mark E leading. I thought I should flag up the state of Poundon hill for future reference, it's as bad as I've seen it with more pot holes and deep rutting than I've seen there before.

Stuart, glad you all had a good ride albeit wet. Thanks for the feedback re Poundon hill.
