Unfortunately, the BBC and Met weather forecasts at present are giving conflicting messages, with the BBC forecast showing heavy rain all morning, the Met one more promising but it keeps changing. If it does look like there will be persistent rain then the ride will be cancelled by no later than 8.00 Wednesday (unless someone else wants to lead the ride and does not mind getting wet? If so please message me by Tuesday evening).
If we go ahead then please come suitably prepared for the possibility of wet weather.

At bottom of the hill before Leckhampstead on the Leckhampstead Wicken road there may be flooding. Can review the situation at the cafe stop. Otherwise all good to go.

There is likely to be rain around so come prepared and if the forecast deteriorates then a decision to cancel may need to be made and if so this will be taken before 8.00 on Wednesday. The course has not been pre-checked but the roads are likely to be wet and possibly treacherous in parts so ride with particular care taking account of the fact that some potholes could be covered in water. Also please use mudguards.
Meet at Swan Pool from 9.15 for 9.30 departure.

Our ride will take us to the cafe at Harley Equestrian Centre. They are having some work done there so there will only be outside seating but with promising weather hopefully that is ok for everyone.
The ride is 42.7 miles, stopping at 23 miles, and with 1,978 feet of ascent.

With a more promising weather forecast we will make a second attempt for our Wednesday ride to visit a new venue, Rectory Farm, Wappenham where we will stop after 22.7 miles to take coffee and cake in their tipi. This cafe is only open over holiday periods so it is a rare opportunity to sample its wares.
