It's only me, leading the B, for a club meet up at Central Cafe, Brackley.
Weather is looking favourable, dry with a gentle breeze, so a great oppertunity to get those legs moving again in the fresh air. The route is a 44-mile loop stopping at mile 26 for refreshments.
The pace will be a steady B ride, considering the inevitably Northants undulating lanes.Usual rules apply, if attending please tap the 'I'm Attending button and I look forward to meeting up at 08:45hrs Sunday morning for a 09:00hrs depart.

Now that the festivities are over it's time for another eagerly awaited SWCC social evening. So, a curry meet-up has been arranged at the Dipalee Lounge on Wednesday 11th January, arrive for 07:00hrs aiming to order meals by 07:30hrs. With the limited opportunities to get out on club rides of late, it would be good to catch-up.
If you fancy it please tap the 'I'm attending' button to enable us to inform the restaurant of expected numbers to cater for.

Clearly this Sundays Rides will only go ahead if the weather permits, that said the forecast for Sunday indicates that there should not be a frost to contend with.
This is a Winter Solstice ride, where all rides will meet-up at The Pheonix Kitchen, Claydon House, so fingers crossed for a good turn-out.
Have opted for a undulating 35 mile ride which will be at a steady 13ish mph average.
If you fancy it, please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I hope to see you Sunday morning.

Revised route avoiding road closure at Wicken .................. thank you Stuart & Paul

Have chosen a 39-mile ride stopping at Salcey Forrest at the halfway point. There are one or two lumpy bits however we should get the benefit of the forecasted moderate North-Easterly breeze.
On the subject of the weather, it is looking to be a tad chilly so full winter gear will be required.
We will meet at the usual time of 08:45 for a 09:00hrs depart. Fancy it the please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I will look forward to seeing ypu Sunday morning.

I'm out mid afternoon, hence staying local. Will be at Swan Pool at the usual time.

The main theme for this Sunday is the selection of Costwolds rides, for those who fancy an away day. That said this is a ride for those that prefer to stay local. Have called it a B/C mash-up, dependant upon the numbers my be able to split the group, either way no-one will be left behind.
Have planned a 45-mile loop, which can be shortened if required. The cafe stop is Limes Farm, Farthinghoe, been a while since visiting this one. The route is undulating in parts, but not too challenging and there is the Charlton to Evenly straight to look forward to.
Please carry a spare inner tube or two. If you fancy it, please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I will see you on Sunday morning at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

The forecast for Sunday is for a gentle Northerly breeze although with the Moto GP on at Silverstone this weekend have steered away from a Southern returning route. Instead have opted for a relatively local East/West 47-mile loop stopping at The Pheonix cafe for refreshments.
Dependant upon the number of attendees, we may need to split the groups, any volenteers to lead a seperate group are warmly welcomed.
We meet at the usual time & place, 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart from Swan Pool. Fancy it? then please tap the I'm attending button.

The pace will be typically be 15.5 to 16.5mph, as we group ride together.
Fancy it? then please tap the I'm Attending' button and I will look forward to meeting up at Swan Pool at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart, for a cracking ride.

One things for sure, it will be a tad windy on Sunday so should be an excilarating ride. Have planned a not so flat, flat 36-mile loop stopping of at the delightful G&D, Quainton.
We will be pushing against the elements on the outbound trip as we head through Winslow, Granborough & North Marston. The plan being that we benefit from the tail wind on the way home via the Claydon's.The pace is steady and the group rides as one, supporting each other through-out.
I guess the road surface will quite mucky so appreciate it if you could have mud guards fitted.
Please remember your face covering and a spare inner tube.
Please tap the 'I'm Attending' button if it is your intention to do so.
