MORNING: SORRY BUT DUE TO WEATHER, CANCELLING RIDE.

Ignore Strava link in my main text, but correct route is as per the attached gpx file (thanks to Mr P Woodham!)

We are doing a circular route , heading anti clockwise to Thrift farm, where we will be hooking up with the C ride, so that anyone who fancies a blast ride home with the C's can give their pace a go!

Myself and Lorna have ridden the route today, we only took one wrong turn, so we are 100% on it for the day.

A ride from the database - 31 miles -average speed 11-13 mph - Claydons Ride with cafe stop at Jenny Wrens in Winslow

It's fair to say I'm a leisure cyclist and a fair weather one at that! A key part of any ride for me is the cafe stop! I'm often cycling with my husband Niall, a fellow member.

The Swan Wheelers Christmas Meal 2016 is at Prezzo in Buckingham on Friday 25th November (7.30pm) - to secure your place please reply ASAP (and by the 31st October at the latest please) - a non-refundable deposit of £5 is required per person and this is payable to any of the committee on a Sunday morning please (that's myself or Paul W, Paul S, Lucy S, Matt or Stephen T) - hope to see the fivers rolling in!

Hi Matt
Is there any difference between mens and women's sizes or is it just one design regardless?
Thanks
