Hi Kim,
Your route to the cafe goes down a private road so you may need to continue on to take the following left and enter from the A5.
Note the revised start time of 08:30 so that we aren't out all day and so we miss any rain that we may get in the afternoon.
I suggest we meet at 08:20 for a prompt departure.
If you are happy to start earlier then please comment below. Rain is forecast from 13:00 and it would be nice to stay dry.
This week we are doing a slightly longer ride (100km) to the cafe at Harrold Country Park. Pace will be 17mph and above, with no riders dropped.

If the roads remain dry and we have our best bikes out we might head straight through to Hartwell to avoid the inevitable muddy roads via Pindon End.
With a forecasted Easterly wind we are heading to Salcey Forest Cafe.

It's the club meet up this Sunday with all rides meeting at Westbury. This ride will leave Swan Pool at 08:45 to ensure we get to Westbury at the right time.
As usual no riders will be dropped etc.

It's closed here
Paid the £19.00
@JamesT it doesn't look to be frosty in the morning, should we start at the normal time?
This was Thornborough last Friday.
Done 😊
@KirstyC I'm happy to lead this
I'm happy to go up the hill as it avoids the rubbish road from Gawcott
So it's a 54 mile route to The Forge at Culworth. Hopefully I've managed to avoid the road closures 🤞🏻.
This will be a 17.5mph+ ride with nobody dropped.

Placeholder for this Sunday's ride. I'll post a route later, but it will be approximately 50-60 miles.
And the Leighton Buzzard bypass.
I came through Charndon today and the road was open.
I've ordered two jerseys 😀
Change of plan...
We are off to Salcey Forest with a front loaded route. This ride will be at a lower pace than normal so we don't overheat.
Start time remains 8:45 for 09:00.

I've just seen on Google maps that Puddleducks doesn't open until 11am. I'll amend the route later to do a longer out leg and a shorter run home.

A ride for this Sunday will be to Puddleduck Cafe near Napton on the Hill. Pace will be 17mph+ with nobody dropped.
I'll post up a route tomorrow, but it'll be similar to previous rides to this cafe so approximately 60 miles.
It is going to be hot so make sure you have enough water (@RobFactor👍 😊)
