It’s looking like the weather is being kind but cold so keeping it a little bit shorter (because I’m soft). It’s a loop north to Weedon Bec with a stop just after half way at Gasoline Juice. Pace will be standard 17-19mph to suit whoever signs up. No dropped leaders. The wind is due to be from the west so it will provide ample opportunity for you to imagine your on the right side of a split in the peloton.

An old route to be done in reverse so that Base comes after the half way mark, with the added bonus of coming down cannon hill rather than up (we all know I love that hill). Bit of a drag up and then a fun decent around half way before a decent coffee. Hoping the weather holds as it’s looking OK and the breeze that’s forecast should help us home. Hit attending and get those isle of white legs turning.

If someone has the ability to post the route in alternate formats please feel free to do so. -
What time ferry are we getting? Thinking I should probably get some sort of vague plan in place
-
The promise of the wind assisted expressway has tempted me into a morning ride despite tabs bday in the afternoon 🤣
-
After pretty horrendous car problems I have only just got home so I shame sadly be dropping out of the ride. Sorry folks.
-
I’ve done 110miles today so you may need to bear with me.
-
Late so brief description. 50miles heading west to have the wind help us home. Some people have a big one Saturday so it will be paced to suit the legS.
Cafe at Bloxham Nursery.

I’ll take the fish chips and mushy peas please.

Bit late getting life completed so this has been on the back burner. Anyway here it is. 90km NE to enjoy the sun and breeze on our backs coming home. The stop will be the waterside cafe on the canal at SB. Weather looks good so hopefully it will entice a good sized group out.
-
If the weather allows we will reroute this ride to a route similar to the b ride. A quick dash down towards and back over brill.
-
Just been informed it’s the meet up this weekend so the route and stop is to be amended. Weather isn’t looking great so I will delay this until Saturday evening.
-
Weather is looking touch and go at the moment so this is being posted with blind optimism rather than expectation. The route is a simple and easily edited (should the weather dictate) trip south. Stop is at about 40km. Fingers crossed for good weather and good company.

@PaulW cafe is as James has stated

In a rush this morning and conscious that I’m out tomorrow so here’s Sundays route and simple post.
56miles of heading west looping round Banbury.
It will be fun for all.

If someone can add the gpx that would be great 👍🏻 -
Owing to boiler issues the family day out has now been moved to tomorrow so sadly having to drop out of the ride. At least there’s some decent weather forecast for the Easter holidays so I should be able to get some consistency back on the bike. Oh wait no it’s miserable for the next week
-
True, but if we’re lucky it might be frozen enough to glide across without issue. Or alternatively take the valley roads back instead, not too much of a reroute
-
Shamelessly using a previous route that will take us to the Carrington Arms for no other reason other than I quite fancy one of their (particularly good) Bacon sandwiches. Breakfast is served until 11 so any mechanicals on the first half will mean we either bid the rider farewell or stay as a group which would force our hands into having a pint and waiting until the roasts start at 12 before ordering a taxi home.
The route is relatively familiar roads with a climb up three locks to provide interest for anyone feeling adventurous.

Date now amended.
-
That’s fine, I’ll be up watching the f1 so I’ll be up and keeping an eye on the weather anyway
-
Looking forward to it
-
Second attempt to head to Base Coffee, hopefully weather shouldn’t be too bad. Route is around 46miles so little bit shorter than average but easy to add a detour on the return leg if weather is kind and people want to.

I’m sure it’s a problem somewhere 😂

@LucyChoules I’m not well so I’m bailing on the ride tomorrow and I believe Rob is out too. Hope you can still head out and enjoy a spin
