The B paced meet-up ride this Sunday will be a flattish c.45miler to Waterperry Gardens. I will post the route by tomorrow evening.
The restriction of 6 riders per group still applies therefore am looking for a support ride leader should the numbers attending dictate, any volenteers? Talking of attending, if you intend to do so please click the I'm Attending button. Clearly, this is a great help in organising these rides under the current circumstances.
If you choose to ride to the cafe separately, would also be grateful if you could drop a note on this page to let us know. Will also confirm the meet up point at Swan Pool when the route is posted, so that we are socially distancing from the A & C riders on Sunday morning. -
Rob Samuals is supporting as 2nd ride leader so the B ride can be split into two groups

The B paced Cafe Meet-up ride for the last Sunday in August is to the Forge at Culworth. A 42 mile route stopping at 23 miles for those most deserved refreshments. Some say a little lumpy at 2100ft, so expect a bit of a challenge. That said, if the forecast is true we should benefit from the gentle tail wind on the homeward leg. Meet at the Pool at the usual time for 09:00 depart.
For the most important bit; if you are intending to ride please click on the 'I'm Attending' button. This helps in organising the ride to groups of six, as is still the restriction. If the number of attendees exceed six the group will be split accordingly. On that note, if you wish to volunteer leading a second group of up to six please let me know via this post.

Thanks Chris, yes would appreciate you supporting by leading the split group.

40-mile loop incorporating a meet-up at Limes Farm, Farthinghoe, at a C/B pace. The easterly wind should add a helping hand for the return leg. Maximum six riders in the group, to help manage the numbers please hit the I'm Attending' button. If more than six wish to ride a second ride leader will be required to split the groups, any volunteers?
See you at the Pool, Sunday at 08:45

This Sunday's meet-up is Cafe Belge, Beachampton. This C/B paced, brisk not fast, will met the Leisue/C ride and anyone else who wishes to ride on their own to the cafe. If you wish to join this ride please hit the I'm attended button, this is important as it helps us manage the rides to a maximum of six. If the numbers dictate we will split the group with a second ride leader. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday for a 09:00 depart.

If you fancy it please let me know by hitting the I'm Attending button to help with managing the numbers. If more than SIX we will split into two groups -
This Sunday I've taken Malcolm's request for a leader to take on his extended , step-up ride to Cafe Belge (28-miles). A nice distance for a C ride considering the lack of rides recently. Hopefully the weather will be kinder than of late and look forward to meeting up Sunday morning.

35-mile loop to Brackley Central Cafe, taking an extended route of the Leisure ride, with the plan being that we meet at the same cafe. A great opportunity for the Leisure riders to 'step up' by joining the C for part of the route. Looks like there may be a drop of light rain forecast but still relatively for the time of year, so wrap up and fix your mud guards.

This week's Leisure ride is a 31-mile loop stopping off at the George & Dragon, Quainton. The C ride are also stopping at the G&D, taking a slightly longer route, so we can expect a full house! The Leisure route is planned so that the C riders should catch us up near to Grendan Underwood providing an ideal opportunity to to step up to the C as they pass for the last few miles before coffee. Both groups will ride the 12 miles back home on the same route. The weather is looking good again for this time of the year, please wrap up appropriatley and bring a spare inner tube.

Did somebody say Just Ride?'
Flattish 38 mile, meeting up with the B and Leisure at the George & Dragon, Quainton. Ideal opportunity for Leisure riders to step-up on the ride either before or after the coffee stop.
Same route as the B ride just 3-miles shorter, so should expect to be over taken at some point between Kingswood & Quainton, just to add to the fun.Please hit the I'm attending button, look forward to seeing you at the Pool.

No problem Paul, good point, will do.
Appears I was a tad over zealous by posting a longer Club ride, apologies. So here is an alternative, shorter ride to a favourite cafe covering 35 miles Riding through Preston Bissett, Poundon, Marsh Gibbon, Grendon Underwood to
the George & Dragon at Quainton. After refreshments just 11 miles home via the Claydons.Pace 13/14mph or to suit the slowest rider. This is an ideal ride to accommodate anyone new to club riding.
Look forward to see you at the Swan Pool on Sunday.
