This week the midweek is to Buskers cafe in Wolverton
(because I hear it’s good)

Plan is to head North out of Buckingham to Stoke Bruerne and then come South to Wolverton via Hanslope for at stop at the 24 mile mark - we then head home on the familiar Stony, Whaddon, Thornborough, Akeley, Maids Moreton route.

A little under 2000 feet of climbing - This is a non-drop social
Pace: <15mph Av
(please also note - if this is too keen, we can adjust the ride to suit with a more out and back route I have up my sleeve.

At the moment the forecast is a balmy 10º, wind from the SE, no rain

This week the midweek is to Buskers cafe in Wolverton

My priorities got reordered

Sorry people, I’m going to dip out. Wife’s birthday today so need to treat her to breakfast in bed

Thanks Matt

I’ve got a duck call 🦆

Happy to go up to Bugbrooke (nice bacon butty)

Well done John - you win a gel!
Let me know which from the selection below:
Chocolate, orange, pineapple, tropical, apple, cherry, black currant, lemon & lime.

Thank you kindly - beautiful weather and good company always helps

Thanks Guy, that helps

Thanks @Woodwheels70 - diversion coming up

I realise the Midweek ride has become a bit quick, so how about a gentle 14mph out to The Barn at Stratton Audley for a slice of cake? - The wind has dropped and we may even see some sunshine.

Everyone welcome (and encouraged) - we will keep the group together - unless anyone really want’s to attack the hills - then please wait at the top and take a moment to enjoy the view.

Will post the route later - please hit the I’m attending button

Looking forward to seeing you there

The Route – update due to Heards Hill closure
Data overload here - just playing with all the options

68km (42 miles) - only 420m total climbing
approx 2:40 on the road at 14mph average

I’ve added a little twist from Steeple to Chetwode

It’s going to be wet - how wet depends on which forecast you look at.
I’m definitely going out for a spin (unless it’s monsoon) - see you down at Swan Pool for 9:15 get-away sharp. No problem if anyone want’s to bail out - either completely or after the first loop.

Send me a txt or contact me here (with your name if I don’t have you in my contacts) if you’re a no show.

I’ll drop in tomorrow and give them a heads-up

Thanks Paul, fixed

So, this is what I’ve come up with - A local route for local people
2 loops of approx 25 miles - Stop in town at Gyre and Gymble
I’ll make a call on direction so we can get a tail wind back in on the last leg.

— everyone welcome —

Looking for 15mph ave. This will be weather dependent (no heroics in the wet)
688m of climbing - so not too lumpy - no-one get’s dropped

I can do 14/15 or 21/22. Sunday would be ideal. Agree we should go with the weather

It’s uncanny, if you set the event date in the future, you get the I’m attending button.

See you all tomorrow for a Clucas/Harbord production
