Shortish one this week stopping at Costa in Stoney as there's nothing else nice out that way!!
-
Just be aware that they're closed on Sundays and Mondays which doesn't make it useful as a stop for club rides!
-
Sorry, I've been away all week with work and it seems like I'm not going to be back until late tonight. I'm not going to have time to get everything together to go biking plus I'm exhausted.
-
Wet weather is forecast tomorrow so make sure you have mudguards please.
No one wants to be covered in road grime. -
Hi Pete,
Thanks for your feedback.
I've heard nothing but positive reviews from the members on using The Mitre as a venue. Let's face it, it's not like we have an abundance of choice in Buckingham as we're limited on decent pubs! If you have an issue with using The Mitre please feel free to bring it up with me personally.Regarding the first aid courses, this is something that we have discussed as a committee at your behest in the past. Whilst we can see the value we would recommend that those that are unfamiliar with basic first aid should download the St Johns Ambulance app on their respective mobile devices. Having first aid training would be good but it's not something that the club can afford to fund but of course that doesn't prevent members from attending any courses that they wish. If you are able to set something up at a reduced cost I would recommend that you post information for it on the forum as it's not something that the committee would have any input into.

Mid week ride. 14 mph loop to 94 Coffee Shop in Waddesdon and back.

Weather looks sunny but cold so wrap up warm!

The green and blue are new then as they weren't there the last time I went.
@paulS, I still stand by my original comment, you shouldn't have a problem with the red as it's not hard. -
@paulS there is no blue available, it's a red only loop.
Honestly it's barely a red in my opinion and is equivalent to the blue at FoD.
Provided you have balance and can move your weight around on the bike you won't have a problem. Take it at your own pace and you'll be fine. -
Just a few words of advice based on feedback from other phone users.
Firstly battery in the phone generally won't last you for a long ride.
Secondly you'll need a decent case and mount to see any data otherwise it'll be in your back pocket.
Thirdly if you ever look at getting any additional sensors like cadence or heart rate then you'll have to get Bluetooth ones as most phones don't support Ant+ which limits your choice.
Fourthly, the GPS sampling rate in a phone isn't usually as frequent as a dedicated device and so your trace can appear choppy.Finally, it's just not as aero! ;)
-
Don't forget that the Wiggle Circuit Breaker is on Sunday so heading out via silverstone means you may get snarled up in the riders and traffic.
-
@PaulW just so you know, there's no blue trails there, it's red only although TBH they're at the bottom end of red as it's not too technical.
-
@Philmet1 there's only black cut outs on the red route at Cannock, not full black routes. I would suggest that you won't need a FF helmet unless you're accident prone! :)
@salochinthims regarding the timing. Are you suggesting we all meet there at 10am or do you anticipate leaving Buckingham then? Either way won't leave much riding time if you want to be back at Buckingham for 1pm. It's a 1h30 drive.
-
We are still trying to get a leader to step forward. Chances are someone will on the day so my recommendation would be to still come along.

48 mile Cublington route stopping at the George & Dragon in Quainton
-
51 miles
Course may be subject to a couple of tweaks so please check back before Saturday afternoon! -
Can't make the 9th Oct as I'm in the US, other than that I'm good. Shame we have to wait to Oct, I guess it gets all booked up?
-
Mmmmm, gelato.
-
Unfortunately I'm out of the country Alex but I wish you and your family all the best with your new lives in France.
-
an assumption but i'm guessing that they're bringing their own bikes over? Looks like i'm away on that Saturday as well.
-
i'm seem to be free that evening at the moment and am up for it!
-
As we changed the ride last week due to the weather let's see if we can do this route this time!

Loop out to Bloxham stopping at Limes Farm. Not headed out that way much so thought it would make a change.
