@MattH black box could it be a mac thing?

Hi Wheelers,

I hope your legs are not hurting to much after the GF so with the in mind a nice flat route with no rain some cross wind on the way from the west out and a nice west south westerly tail wind on the way back punctuated with the finest bacon butties the local area has to offer. Out via Barton Harton, Bainton and Middle Stoney Stopping at Weston-on-the-Green and back via Islip, Merton, Blackthorn and Stratton Audley.

Speed: B 15-17MPH ( this will be at the faster end due to the flat nature of the route)
Distance: 45 Miles
Profile: Flat
Cafe stop: Milk Shed

guys Have a fast rack ticket so need to be there before 6 I have space for one passenger and bike up for grabs, only down side is the company/conversation ;-)

I just loaded this route and its showing as waterperry garden?

Hi All,

I'm not being lazy coping Paul's route. Wind direction gave me cafe options of kizzies or limes, and the cake & bacon is better at Limes. Given Matt and Stephen are absent I'm happy to go out with the medium ride and come back fast, a kind of step upish ride or do the whole run as fast so we get the best cake choice. we can decide in the morning

Destination: Limes Farm, Farthinghoe
Distance: 44 miles
Pace: 17+ mph
Duration: 2hrs 44min @17mph ave.
Route: heading for Stratton Audley via Gawcott etc through Tusmore on to Croughton to our tea stop (25mls) at Limes Farm, heading back through Greatworth, Syresham, Westbury, Finmere then back into Buckingham

Garmin Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course­/15801380

Weather forecast: temp 15/17°; wind W at 10 mph; Precipitation at 10%.. so not to bad

Here's hoping that i will see you Sunday.

I have no idea how to do that 😳

Its a 60 mile round trip but well worth it if your a fan of our stops at the milk shed you'll love this
The Straw Kitchen converted the old barn at the bottom of The Pottery car park into a straw bale building with a lively, relaxed and generous atmosphere.
They now serve up scrumptious brunches and lunches, steaming teas and coffees, mountains of homemade cakes and the best bacon sarni for miles around!

Please note that we don't take bookings and operate on a first come first served basis. The kitchen stops serving food 1hr before closing time so get here early to avoid disappointment!

Hi Wheelers,
This weeks route (please read T&Cs of Tim Selby routes, its a suggestion rather than a plan) is a step up ride with a stiff east south easterly and a chill in the air, so we are off with the wind in our faces ( and sides at the start) and the motivation of warm bacon butties at the stop. The ride takes you from the Swan Pool out to Stratton Audley via Gawcott onto and through Blackthorn, Piddington, Ludgershall over the A41 towards Grendon Underwood first right down the back lanes heading for a Quainton loop, stop at the G&D 26 mls in. Ride back with some wind at our backs with a cheeky crosswind in the last little bit, so its via the Railway Centre then right and head towards Botolph Claydon straight on (left!) after the climb out of the village then turn right for Steeple Claydon, Padbury Mill, Gawgott then home
