Hi Dick, may need a lift, will confirm asap, many thanks,Niall

I am keen to ride - please can I ask other C riders to indicate whether they are interested- thanks, Niall

Hi C Riders - so this ride falls on Father's Day!!! So a chance to build an appetite before the big celebratory lunch (for some maybe?).
Our route will be the loop to Waddesdon and the 94 Coffee Shop postponed from last week due to the Tour of Aylesbury Vale event. This far ahead the forecast is for sunny intervals and a gentle breeze.
Hope to see you!

Hi all leisure, recovering and, hopefully, some new riders - this week a gentle 20 mile loop to the East of Buckingham taking in Thornton, Nash, Thornborough, Padbury, Gawcott before returning to Buckingham for coffee at the Larder Cafe. Gentle breeze with the possibility of showers is the forecast so please bring a shower cape as well as your helmet and drink!
Hope to see you.

Hi C Riders - as the Tour of the Aylesbury Vale is on this Sunday, it will be best to avoid the area so I have changed our route from a loop to Waddesdon. New route is to head NE on a loop to coffee stop at Stoke Bruerne out through Stony Stratford, Hanlope and Ashton. Then home via Shutlanger, Whittlebury and Silverstone. Should be a dry, fairly warm outing. Distance = 40 miles.
Hope to see you on Sunday.

Hi C Riders
This week heading south to Waddesdon to the fabulous Coffee Shop 94. We should miss any showers, forecast for later, and will be blown home by the southerly breeze!
Hope to see you.
Niall

Remember - earlier start for Gran Fondo rides: 8:15 am to roll out at 8:30 am!

This C Ride Gran Fondo heads south to Waterperry Gardens once again via Stratton Audley, then home via Marsh Gibbon. Not too much climbing, forecast is warm rising to 20 degrees C, helped home by southerly breeze. Distance is 48 miles.
Please check box if you plan to ride - many thanks.

This week the weather forecast is for sunny intervals with a gentle breeze from the west and temperatures climbing to 15 degrees C. Route is out through Gawcott, Evenley, Croughton, to coffee stop at the Stratton Barn returning on a longer loop than usual (nearly to Quainton) back through Calvert and the Claydons to put all of Sunday's hard work in Cheddar Gorge to good use! Distance is 53 miles with 2,100 ft of elevation.

Thanks Paul - I have ordered a jersey - if you are ordering loads of socks, please can I have 1 x medium. Many thanks, Niall

Hi Pat
Sorry to be a pain, please can you post final version of route - again!

Cheers

Hi C Riders - sorry for the late post so pulled one from my file- plan for tomorrow is to head towards Stony Stratford, through the Wealds and Whaddon to coffee at Thrift Farm, then back through Winslow and the Claydons. Distance approx 37 miles.

Will do, thanks Pat, like the idea of the shorter route with extra loops (or hills!) for you faster guys!

Sorry to disappoint some of you but this is not the first summer evening ride - we meet at the usual time 8:45 am at the Swan Pool.

Hi C Riders - this week we are heading out west to 7th Heaven café in Banbury Golf Course near Addebury via Finmere, Fringford, Croughton and Aynho, then back via Kings Sutton, Evenley and Finmere again. Distance is around 38 miles, forecast is 8-10 degrees C with low risk of getting wet!
Hope to see you there.

Hi C Riders - for Easter Sunday's ride planning to head NE into the wind through Wicken, Deanshanger and Whaddon to stop at Thrift Farm and back (with the wind!) through Mursley, Winslow and the Claydons. Distance around 37 miles (with about 1800 ft of elevation). Weather forecast is brilliant - full sun all morning with temps rising from 12 to 20 degrees Celsius - bring plenty of fluids!

Hi midweek riders - this week I thought we would go and have a look at the refurbished Salcey Forest Café. Route attached along with a shorter ride if new members come along.
Hope to see you tomorrow.

I’m in!

Hi Mid-Weekers
2 options for this Wednesday depending on the uptake (to be decided on the morning):

1) shorter leisure ride to welcome new riders - out to Steeple Claydon and back for coffee/cake at the Larder Cafe in Buckingham. Distance 17 miles.

https://www.strava.com/routes/17883551

2) longer ride: Loop heading NW through Westbury, Mixbury, Evenley, Croughton, Hethe to the Stratton Barn. Then home via Marsh Gibbon, Calvert, the Claydons & Gawcott. Distance =46 miles with nearly 2000ft elevation! Should be good if the rain holds off!

Sorry guys - too keen to show you sp pressed post without attachment!

I have shortened Pat's route by 10 miles so down to 43miles/69 km - just need to lose a short section of A road at Backwell on the way out. For us Cheddar Gorge is at mile 22, then climb for 5 miles !!!!!!!
Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul
