Could be - will know nearer the time

Thanks @JamesT
18.9mph will be adequate

Yep - I fancy this one, happy to ride as a club

— Sorry all, I can’t now make the Sunday ride
anyone else want to take it on?

I fancy another crack at Baker Girl at Great Tew
Hopefully there will be space for us
(I’ll have a plan B up my sleeve)

Weather looks fine and calm

Who’s around?

Excellent - click that “I’m attending” button

looks good Niall - fish and chip supper at the end
Blue Crab (just got to find it this year)

Sandown I think 🤔
Or Blueberries Cafe Shanklin looks nice

Thanks Niall.
Cutting up through Newport looks to be the best option.

More the merrier, and we have all day

We have 2 routes for your delectation
A full circuit of the Isle - 100k
and a slightly truncated - 77k (don’t worry all the climbing is in the first half so you won’t miss out)

We should be able to meet up at Besty & Spinkey’s for tea at the 1 hour 30 mark
Then again at Cowes if required
Fish and chips back at Yarmouth

Other than that groups are encouraged to enjoy the day - fit in lunch somewhere, dip your toes in the ocean etc ….

What’s not to love?

Liz and Francine are planning a 25 mile ride in addition to the 2 we have published

I may do my own thing x

Ok from me

Pat Harbord: 2895
not sure I’m going to run the app though - as I think it will be a battery killer

Should be the same as the “summer" club kit.

The A’s have it at the moment
Just to throw a fly into the ointment (or any other cliché you might think of)

I’ve been inspired by GCN new fan kit - and come up with another option - D

just done it

The A Ride is heading for The Norsk Café in Haddenham this week

17-19mph (hopefully the upper end as only a couple of lumps to play with)
50 miles (83km)
2000 ft (620m)

Muswell Hill is the largest bump

Who will be Buzz to my Armstrong? Not forgetting ‎Michael Collins (without whom we can’t get back).

As you may have seen from recent committee minutes - Paul and I have have the colouring pencils out and have been looking at potential colour schemes for an additional club kit item.

A winter jersey that will be easier to keep looking good during the wet winter months.

We shared 16 variations with the committee and have whittled down the options to 3. We now wish to open up the ideas to the membership for your opinion.

Thanks for all the feedback - we are going with not one, not two but three options. A, C and D - Along with black socks.

Keep an eye out for a message from Paul W declaiming the kit window open for orders.

As always - club kit is entirely optional

That’s a shame Adam

Hi All
This year’s ride is in the planning - Likely meeting up for refreshments at Thrift Farm Nr Whaddon

Southbound from Buckingham, taking in a couple of local lumps - should be at Thrift farm for 11:00
Current forecast has the possibility of the odd shower, temp in the low teens and a little wind from the south east.

17-19mph (weather permitting)

I’m in - would need a lift

Prefilling this form - may save a bit of time, registration can be quite busy.

I’m sure we can arrange a rolling creche if you want to put a couple of laps in - It’s all a bit of fun

Will do Jeff - 6:30 at Gandertons
That’s all you need to know

A return to our evening social pub series
All invited - 1.5 hours cycling at a leisurely pace
Beer (the perfect recovery supplement) at The Red Lion, Evenley
