My road is looking icy right now (7:30AM), so I'm going to give the ride a miss. By the time you set out from the pool hopefully it will be fine.

My wife just tested positve for COVID this morning, so won't be able to join.

Looks like Sunday is set to be cold with the wind from the North, so wrap up warm!

Ride will head north to our Cafe stop, The Barn at Upper Stowe, heading out via Syresham, Helmdon, Canons Ashby with the Café stop at 27 miles. Route back is via Bugbrooke, Greens Norton, Whittlebury, Wicken etc, and we should have a tail wind for the return leg!

Heading north this week on a 52 mile route with a café stop at The Barn Café Upper Stowe. Terrain will be 'rolling' out to the Café but flatter on the return leg, and hopefully a tail wind. Weather looking reasonable for Sunday with the wind from the NW.

Sorry, won't be able to make it, poorly dog to sort out this morning.

OK with me.

Thanks James, as Rob is meeting us on route should be OK at the pool.

Just taken the ride number to 7, hopefully that's OK.

Sorry James but Ally's football season has re-started, so on football duties Sunday AM.

James, will join you as far as the Cafe.

Can't make it this week. Have fun folks.

Football duties on Sunday for me I'm afraid. Enjoy the ride.

As per last wèek will join you up to the Cafe stop.

I'm not going to stop at the Cafe, I'll just head for home if thats OK.

No problem James.

Hi A riders,

Forecast is a bit uncertain for Sunday in terms of rain, but fair chance we will get away without getting wet. Fairly windy I'm afraid with wind direction WSW.

Planing to reuse the route I posted a few weeks ago, but had to cancel due to weather. Heading out to Silverstone, Adstone, Culworth and onward to our Cafe Stop at Barn Farm Upper Wardington at 26 miles. We then head south to Middleton Cheney, Kings Sutton, Croughton, Finmere and back to Buckingham for a total of 52 miles. First half will be fairly hilly, the 2nd half less so with hopefully the wind blowing us home.

Forecast for Sunday is set to be dry, but fairly cold and with strong winds from the SW, so best wrap up well! Plan is to head for Waterperry Gardens as per the B ride allowing folks to return on the B ride if you are not sure a full distance A ride is for you. As you will no doubt expect for one of my rides, we will be heading up Brill Hill! Total distance 54 miles and 1750 ft of up hill.

Will try and make it.

Don't replan on my account, Waterperry is fine.

The A ride (consiting of me and James) did make it to Waterperry last week, but happy for a return visit, the tea loaf was very good!
Not sure yet if I can make it, but if I do will need to get back early as possible, so may take a more direct route back.

After a break over the last few months, time to get the A ride back on the road again! However its still early in the year, so plan is for a steady A ride getting used to riding together again.

Plan to follow a similar route to the B ride to Waterperry Gardens, but with a diversion on the outward leg to add the climb up to Brill. We will follow the same route as the B ride on the return leg. So option for anyone who’s not quite sure about a full A ride can always join the B ride after the café stop. Expect pace around 17 mph, distance 57 miles. Forecast not looking to bad with a risk of a rain after 12.
