Happy New Year to you all and here’s to many miles (and cakes) together in 2024.
LETS TRY AGAIN…
So, for the first ride of 2024, we’re off to the lovely Community Cafe at Westbury 😃. Thank you again to @PaulW who has created another two rides for me (still need the garmin planning lesson 😝). Short ride is 36 miles and the longer is 40.So if you’re free and up for a ride out, please hit ‘I’m attending’ and we’ll get the first miles for 2024 logged.
As always, please bring payment for coffee and cakes, wear the appropriate ride gear and bring the usual spare bits and bobs.
Short link…36 miles

@KatieR fingers crossed 😝😝

Shopping opportunity @PaulW 😝😝

It’s looking very unlikely that we’ll be able to ride again this week as the temperatures are not on our side.
How about a coffee and cake meet up at one of our favourite cafes before it closes down for good.
Bring your other halves (or better halves!) the more the merrier.
Christmas 🎅 jumpers optional (as is Lycra 😝😝). Wrap up warm.
Hit attend if you’re coming 😀😀😀

@StuartMcMahon has advised it’s CASH ONLY
£1 CAKE, £1 COFFEE. -
So let’s try for Thursday…apologies to those who could make Wednesday but can’t make Thursdays 🙁 but the weather looks to be getting the better of us on Wednesday!
So on Thursday we are off to Syresham Community Cafe, @PaulW has done a route for us, just one this week.

As usual, hit the attending button if you can join me. Please remember card/cash for refreshments, helmet, drink, spare inner tube and rain jacket!
See you Thursday 🚴🏼♀️🚴

Hello all, my turn for a mid week RL stint.
Firstly, we need to keep a very close eye on the weather, at the moment the forecast is 50/50% of heavy rain which is far from ideal so we may need to cancel 🙁. Keep an eye on the Swans WhatsApp.
I’ve chosen Limes Farm, Farthinghoe. Apologies, I know some of you went on Sunday but I heard the cakes were so good, we’re going back that way!
Thanks to @PaulW, he has organised two distances…
Longer:

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/193071481Please consider fitting your mud guards, check that you have a spare inner tube, a helmet, drink and some cash/card for the cafe and rain jacket!
If you’re up for this ride, please hit the ‘I’m attending’ button.
Hopefully see you Wednesday 🚴🏼♀️🚴.
Cheers Elaine Evans

Hello all!
I’m group ‘leader-ing’ again and we’re back off to The Barn at the Red Lion 🦁 Pub in Culworth, to enjoy all the lovely cakes and savoury goodies and also especially to enjoy the garden while the ☀️ is with us.
Hoping that you’ll join me, so if you’re free, press the ‘I’m attending’ button and we’ll go again 😀.
Garmin route below:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/179553611Talking of the sun, remember to ‘factor’ up and bring sufficient water, also your payment means and tyre repair kit.
Given the usual numbers on a Wednesday, there is likely to be the need for a second ride leader.
Meet at the Swan Pool at 9.15 am for 9.30 am departure.
Look forward to seeing you. 🚴🚴🏼♀️❤️🤍🖤

So a couple of firsts for this Wednesdays mid week social ride.
I’m group leader and a new cafe!! We’re off to Culworth, to The Barn at the Red Lion pub. It opens from 9am and offers teas, coffees, cakes, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, quiches, sandwiches so I think all bases are covered 😃.
We’re heading out into Northamptonshire as this is where I live and know. (I’ve borrowed John H’s ride from last month). The Red Lion pub is located just down the road from the Forge cafe. (I haven’t changed the cafe stop on the route, cause I’ve no idea how!! 😝).
Hoping that you’ll join me, so if you’re free, press the ‘I’m attending’ button and we’ll see how it goes 😝😝.
NEW ROUTE POSTED 24/7/23
