Well done Pete. Sounds like you had fun and all the training paid off.

Hi Tim, I don’t think you’ve made the route public.

Hi Swan A's

Here is the route for Sundays A ride. It is a 65 miler so we will be meeting at 8:15am for an 8:30am start.

We will be venturing into the Cotswolds to Great Rollright Garden Centre so expect a few lumpy bits.

The weather looks good with temperatures in the high teens so bring plenty of drink and some gel packs and food as the stop is about 32 miles in.

Please click "I'm Attending" and I'll see you on Sunday morning.

Two jobs cancelled tomorrow so only one thing for it....cycling 😁🚴‍♂️

That looks better. Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris, it’s not necessarily the total climbing but the nature of the individual hills. If we get a new rider turn up for the B ride, Muswell hill in particular may put them off from riding with us again. I would suggest that you seek feedback from the regular B riders and see if they fancy these hills.

New one for me. Looking forward to it 😀

Sorry Chris, I have to agree with Malcolm and Paul. Muswell Hill from the Thame road is particularly tough and the whole route would test the A ride. If 2355ft of climbing is one of your flat rides, I dread to think what your hilly ones are like 🤣

Hi Paul, would like to discuss/get in place a once a month 60 plus mile A ride with an 8:30 start during the summer months.

Cheers

Guy

Order placed 😁

I’m planning to go😁🚴‍♂️👍

Hi Swan A's

This Sunday's ride takes us to the George & Dragon at Quainton where, all being well, we should rendezvous with the B ride.

There are a couple of nice hills but nothing like last weeks Edge Hill.

The route from Buckingham is as follows:

Gawcott, Lenborough, Steeple Claydon, Verney Junction, Winslow, Swanbourne, Mursley, Stewkley, Cublington, Whitchurch, Pitchcott, Quainton (cafe stop at 27 miles), Westcott, Ashendon, Kingswood, Grendon Underwood, Marsh Gibbon, Stratton Audley, Chetwode, Preston Bissett, Gawcott and back to Buckingham.

Please click "Yes I'm attending" and I'll see you on Sunday morning.

8:15 meet it is then

Just to confirm then, meet up at 8:15 for 8:30 start. If that’s ok with you Phil I will update calendar.

Paul, Pat, Wolfgang? Ok with the earlier start?

Shall we meet at 8:15 for an 8:30 start? As soon as we are agreed I will update the ride calendar and put a message on Facebook.

Looking forward to a new route and stop. As we could be averaging 16mph (groups minimum speed) and including a half hour stop, it could be a four and a half hour ride. Just wondering if we should start earlier?

Great work Pat👍

Thanks James, sorry it was a bit shorter than normal but it worked out pretty well in the end.

Just a thought. We could also head to Turweston and meet up with the B group. I have plotted a route which is a couple of miles longer than the B on the first part. It is a 40 mile ride in total. Have a think and we'll decide in the morning.

Hi Swans

This coming Sunday we are heading to one of my favourite stops, Harley Equestrian at Woodford Halse where I will definitely be ordering the Flapjack. Once re fueled the Northerly wind should blow us all the way home.

The route is from the database and was created by Paul Woodham which means it will be a good one.

Hopefully you can join me so please confirm by clicking on "Yes I'm Attending".

See you on sunny Sunday

We now have a leader for the THURSDAY midweek ride (thanks John C) 😁👍🚴‍♂️

As you probably all know, we (the new committee) are trying very hard to promote the club and improve the SWCC experience for all riders.

We have adjusted the speed bands to try and provide a desirable ride for everyone.

To do this we aim to give three speed band rides on a Sunday but can only do this if each ride has a ride leader.

Would anyone be interested in becoming a ride leader?

It really only involves choosing a cafe stop, posting a route on the forum and bringing a signing on ride sheet along.

If you are worried about creating a route there are routes available to use on the database or we can give you all the help you need to create a new one.

If you can help and fancy giving it a go, please let me know by replying to this thread.

Thanks

Guy

As the weather forecast for Wednesday morning is wet and windy, I have moved the mid week ride to Thursday pending the availability of a ride leader.
