Hi Corrine, will be good to see you!

Morning midweekers, this is a short holding post for our ride this week. Given easterly breeze, probably going to Mursley Farm shop. As usual we will have a longer & shorter route. I will take the shorter route so if you would like to take the longer route, please let me know.
Routes will be posted later this morning.

Hi Paul, happy to take the shorter group (distance that is, not necessarily riders!)

Hi C/Leisure riders
This Sunday we are off to Stoke Bruerne to take refreshments at the canal-side cafe.
Our route is 33 miles with the cafe stop at the half-way point. On the way back, we need to loop into Silverstone to avoid the road closure at Whittlebury.

Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course­/262140530

At the moment, the forecast looks fair and hopefully dry. However, if the last few weeks has taught us anything, come prepared for all weather conditions!
Also, remember, inner tubes, tools, method of payment, hydration.
Hope to see you Sunday - we meet at the Swan Pool at 8:45am.
Please sign up above, as usual, if you plan to ride.

Hi All
A few final reminders before Friday:
1) Bring a £1 pound coin for the changing room lockers
2) Bring your own helmet
3) Bike and shoe hire needs to be paid for on arrival at reception
See you all on Friday!
Cheers, Niall

I’ve put out an alert

Hi Adam, please can I bag a seat for the return journey?

Similar request - Julie & I are driving to Derby but Julie is going onto stay with friends in Sheffield. So, hoping someone could give me a lift back to Buckingham? Many thanks in advance. Niall

Hi Elaine, can’t make this week, will try harder next week!

Hi Katie, probably around 9:45am - hope to see you then👍

Hi Leisure riders
I'm posting a ride on behalf of Glynnis. The route takes a 23 mile loop out to the Forge cafe at Evenley and back to Buckingham.

Please remember to bring a spare inner tube, tools and wrap up well for all types of weather.

Hi Lizzie, no problem, see you in Winslow @ 9:45am

Hi C riders and Leisure riders as well. For Easter Sunday, we are riding out East to the Potting Shed Cafe at Thrift Farm to take advantage of the wind on the way home after coffee, cake and maybe Easter eggs!
You may see that the One network website has many notifications on our route but, thankfully, they are not in place until after the Easter Holiday Weekend.

Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course­/243505216

Please sign up in the usual way at the top of the post if you would like to ride with us.
Weather is crazy at the moment, so come prepared for all eventualities - forecast is dry???
Also, please bring spare tubes, tools, payment methods etc.
Hope to see you at the Swan Pool at 8:45am on Sunday morning.
