Hi Paul
I have ordered some bib shorts. If you are ordering loads of socks, please can I have a medium pair.
Thanks
Niall

Hi Everyone - as the wind is forecast to be slight and from the NW, I thought we could ride out NW through Chackmore, Syresham, Greatworth to Farthinghoe and stop at Limes Farm (start slightly rerouted to avoid Stowe Avenue - closed for resurfacing). Then home via Charlton, Evenly and a little southern detour to Hethe , Chetwode and Gawcott. Distance around 38 miles.
Meet at Swan Pool from 9:15 am to roll out at 9:30 am.

Hi Pat, happy to plan a shorter (maybe slightly slower!) route for us C riders.

Happy to go with this loop - just need to keep a look out on A43 - it's unavoidable but your very short section is ok, ridden that before - they need a bridge like near Deanshanger!
Thanks
Niall

Hi Paul
How about this version, can't quite make your suggestion work but this is shorter. Is the very short bit on the west side on A4260 ok or could route south to cafe through King's Sutton - what would you advise?
Thanks
Niall

Ok thanks Paul, will reroute

Hi C Riders - here is our route out to the G&D at Quainton for the Equinox ride on Sunday - should arrive in Quainton bang on 10:30 am! Then all rides return to Buckingham together - really?

Hi Midweekers - keen to go and see the new 7th Heaven Cafe - my son, Angus, has helped create a relatively short route, but does involve a very short section on the A43 and quite a bit of B road - let me know what you think - we can always go somewhere else like Limes Farm and save 7th Heaven for the longer Gran Fondo C Ride at some point in the future. Also, a little bird tells me that 7th Heaven stop serving bacon rolls at 11:00 am - is this true?

Here's a link to the route:

Look forward to your replies, thoughts and comments.

Hi C Riders,

Here is our first Gran Fondo ride - approximately 48 miles.
We plan to set off 30 minutes earlier at 8.30am, so be at Swan Pool around 8.15am.

Given longer route, I suggest we all bring a small snack to have at Fritwell, half way to main cafe stop at mile 30, 7th Heaven Cafe in Adderbury, returning via Evenley to Buckingham

Hope to see many of you on Sunday morning, my son Angus is at home, has planned the route and will be riding with us!

Midweek leisurely ride to Deanshanger, Whaddon, coffee at Thrift Farm, Mursley, Swanbourne, Winslow and back through the Claydons. Distance approx 37 miles.

Thanks Paul

Thanks for the update Keith, see you Sunday

Hi C Riders
Back after a cold (head) and cold (roads) so fairly easy ride looping west through Finmere, then south to Stratton Audley & Marsh Gibbon stopping at Twyford for coffee & cake, returning home through Steeple Claydon and Gawcott.
Hope to see you - forecast is for full sun, none of that horrible ice!

Stewart, may not make it as have a horrible cold! Hope to see you all soon, Niall

Hi C Riders
Route for Sunday is to head NE-ish towards Pottersbury and loop back to Thrift Farm (coffee etc), then back home via Winslow and the Claydons - distance approx. 37 miles.
BUT - like others, if temp too low and frost on the ground - I'm not riding!!!

Hi Guys
Rather late I know, but here is a shortish ride for tomorrow. A loop out Finmere/Stratton/Twyford (coffee-cake stop)/Steeple - distance @ 30miles. Hoping to have wind on way back!
Niall

Hi Guys, this Sunday we head north east to Stoke Bruerne via Wicken, Deanshanger, Wolverton, Hartwell and back via Shutlanger, Whittlebury. Route is 37 miles.
Hope to see you on Sunday
Niall

Hi C Riders - this Sunday we are off on a southern loop stopping at either Twyford (or George & Dragon, Quainton, we can take a vote!). Distance = 32 miles. Forecast is dry but cool, 8 degrees, so wrap up warm.
See you Sunday, Niall.

Hi Leisure Riders
So finally, we can ride the route planned a few weeks ago! Heading to a favourite cafe - Limes Farm at Farthinghoe via Finmere, Westbury, Syresham and Greatworth. Coming back to Evenly, then home via a loop through Fingford (or straight back to Finmere and Gawcott if anyone needs to get back a bit earlier like me if my sinuses don't clear!). Distance is 40 miles. Please fit lights and mudguards and wrap up warm!

Hi Leisure Riders
As I am away next week, trying to get ahead of the game, so here is the Leisure Ride for Sunday 4th November. Heading to a favourite cafe - Limes Farm at Farthinghoe via Finmere, Westbury, Syresham and Greatworth. Coming back to Evenly, then home via a loop through Fingford (or straight back to Finmere and Gawcott if anyone needs to get back a bit earlier). Distance is 40 miles. Please fit lights and mudguards - it really is autumn now!

This weekend, as many A/B riders will be off on the Gran Fondo, I will lead a B Ride at mid-week ride pace around 15 mph average speed. Our route heads out NE through Wicken, Deanshanger, Old Wolverton, Hanslope and round to Stoke Bruerne where we will stop on the canal side for coffee and refreshments. Then coming back through Shutlanger, Whittlebury and Silverstone to Buckingham. Distance is just under 40 miles.

Hi Guy
Please ignore my last comment in this post - very confused, thinking of part of last Sunday's route!!!
Niall

Thanks Pat, will have a look

Hi Paul - I have ordered a jersey, Niall
