Here are the .gpx files 😊 cheers @MarkE

@PaulW that’s a shame, you’ll be missed

Please bear in mind this is our (Marks!!) first ‘attempt’ at plotting the ride on Strava/Garmin…any issues please let us know!

Hey all, it’s time for a mid week ride out. Are you available this Wednesday’s St Valentine’s Day?

The special day of love and romance…that slush can wait till after our ride! Though, to get you into that mood we have a ❤️❤️ heart-ish shaped ride for you! Thank you so much to my better half, @MarkE, for coming up with the two routes after me just throwing out the village names and letting him get on with it…I’m rubbish at tech! So again thank you Mark. We hope you like our routes!

We are going to the Blackpit Brewery cafe

So if you’re free and fancy joining, then please just tap the ‘I’m attending button’.

As usual, please make sure you have payment for coffee and cake, a drink on your bike, all the relevant repair ‘stuff’ (lots of punctures lately) and obvs your bike!!

Hope to see you. Elaine ❤️❤️❤️❤️
(Oh yeah and it’s my birthday!)

Very frosty and icy here, just not worth the risk - sorry all

Morning all, what about starting at 10am and just doing the shorter distance so we aren’t out for too long?

@KatieR Yes we could do and maybe just do the shorter route, so we’re all out for less time!

As last Wednesday’s ride didn’t happen due to flooding and winds, let’s try again with the original two routes to Croughton. The shorter ride is 31 miles and the longer is 40 miles.

Short ride link 31 miles…
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/243262609

Long ride link 39 miles…
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/243264158

So if you’re free and up for a ride out, please hit ‘I’m attending’.

The weather is looking fine but cold 🥶, layer up please with appropriate clothing. Meet at 9:15 and ready to leave promptly at 9:30am please. I will call the cafe to give them a heads up we’re coming.

As always, please bring payment for coffee and cakes, wear the appropriate ride gear and bring the usual spare bits and bobs.

Ok great, take it easy getting there @KatieR

😝😝😝 cheers Paul 👍👍

Happy New Year to you all and here’s to many miles (and cakes) together in 2024.

LETS TRY AGAIN…
So, for the first ride of 2024, we’re off to the lovely Community Cafe at Westbury 😃. Thank you again to @PaulW who has created another two rides for me (still need the garmin planning lesson 😝). Short ride is 36 miles and the longer is 40.

So if you’re free and up for a ride out, please hit ‘I’m attending’ and we’ll get the first miles for 2024 logged.

As always, please bring payment for coffee and cakes, wear the appropriate ride gear and bring the usual spare bits and bobs.

Short link…36 miles

Long link…40 miles

@KatieR fingers crossed 😝😝

Shopping opportunity @PaulW 😝😝

It’s looking very unlikely that we’ll be able to ride again this week as the temperatures are not on our side.

How about a coffee and cake meet up at one of our favourite cafes before it closes down for good.

Bring your other halves (or better halves!) the more the merrier.

Christmas 🎅 jumpers optional (as is Lycra 😝😝). Wrap up warm.

Hit attend if you’re coming 😀😀😀

@StuartMcMahon has advised it’s CASH ONLY
£1 CAKE, £1 COFFEE.

So let’s try for Thursday…apologies to those who could make Wednesday but can’t make Thursdays 🙁 but the weather looks to be getting the better of us on Wednesday!

So on Thursday we are off to Syresham Community Cafe, @PaulW has done a route for us, just one this week.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/237868034

Gpx file attached too.

As usual, hit the attending button if you can join me. Please remember card/cash for refreshments, helmet, drink, spare inner tube and rain jacket!

See you Thursday 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴

Thanks @PaulW for the .gpx files, I forgot about those 😳. Lols @ChrisP, you need to check out the yurts 🛖 there too!!

No worries Niall, thanks for letting me know.

Funnily enough my bike is in for service so I’m hoping I’ll be there Lols 😂

Hello all, my turn for a mid week RL stint.

Firstly, we need to keep a very close eye on the weather, at the moment the forecast is 50/50% of heavy rain which is far from ideal so we may need to cancel 🙁. Keep an eye on the Swans WhatsApp.

I’ve chosen Limes Farm, Farthinghoe. Apologies, I know some of you went on Sunday but I heard the cakes were so good, we’re going back that way!

Thanks to @PaulW, he has organised two distances…

Longer:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/237709359

Shorter:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/193071481

Please consider fitting your mud guards, check that you have a spare inner tube, a helmet, drink and some cash/card for the cafe and rain jacket!

If you’re up for this ride, please hit the ‘I’m attending’ button.

Hopefully see you Wednesday 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴.

Cheers Elaine Evans
