This Sunday's ride is a Club meet-up at The George & Dragon so opted for a 45-mile loop for the B's. That'll be 30-miles before the cafe stop, heading towards Blackthorn and Ludgershall then taking in Brill to add a bit of spice! The post cafe trip provides an ideal opportunity for any C's to step-up and join the group.
There is a gentle breeze from the South/South-West which should help us home albeit there may be a chance of light rain so waterproofs may be required.
Looking forward to it already!! If you fancy it too, then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button. See you at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

This weeks B ride is a 44-mile loop stopping at The Barn, Upper Wardington at mile 23 for refreshments. There will be one or two little lumps as we enjoy the South Northamptonshire countryside however there should be a nice breeze from the West to help us home.
The pace will be 15-16mph, with the group riding together through-out.
No rain forecast with a pleasant morning to look forward too, so a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the ride.If its a yes then please tap the I'm Attending button and I look forward to meeting up at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

With the weather forecast suggesting an Easterly breeze have opted for the Bike Bus, nr Cranfield, for our choice of refreshments, at the halfway point of the the total ride distance.
The route is a straight 'out & back' to keep it sub 50-miles.
Average speed of the ride will be c.15/16mph, as we all benefit from riding together, as a group.
Up for it? Then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I look forward to meeting up on Sunday morning.

This weeks B ride is a 44-mile loop stopping at Spokes, Upper Heyford for a cuppa & slice 'o cake. The theory bring that we will benefit of the South Westerly on the way home.
The average speed of the ride is expected to be between 15-16mph for the whole group. More than acheivable if we ride together and support each other through-out.
The weather forecast is looking quite reasonable, a fresh start to the day with no rain expected.
*** We are a bit 'thin on the gound' with B Ride Leaders, if you fancy having a go lets have a chat about it on the ride ***
Up for this ride, then please tap the I'm Attending button and I will see you on Sunday morning at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

This Sunday is a Meet-up with all Ride Groups at The Westbury Community Cafe. So, the B is a 40-mile loop stopping at 28 miles to form an orderly queue.
The intention is to ride in unison to reap the benefits of group riding, aiming for a collective average speed of 15-16mph. The weather forecast suggests it will be a tad chilly, ideal for a good workout.
Typically, there is a good turn out for the meet-up rides, if you've not been out for a while why not dust of your bike and come and join us.
Fancy it? Then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I look forward to meeting you at The 'Pool at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

This week's B ride is off to South Northamptonshire again to reap the benefit of the North Westerly breeze after the cafe stop. A total of 45-miles, a tad lumpy and the welcoming Forge at Culworth, whats not to like!!
The temperature is looking to be above the seasonal average and there may be a slight chance of a shower or two.
The average ride speed is expected to be c.15mph, more importantly we ride together to get the benefit of all acheiving this.

This is a place holder for Sunday's B ride, a club meet-up at Westbury Community Cafe. I will aim to post the route this evening.
The weather forecast is looking very favourable so 'let's B av'in ya' as our Delia once said! -
Another one from WWCC, Ben Jones, son of Tim.
Tim will pay for both. -
Joining from WWCC are Ian Roy, Jeremy Mulkern, Mike Storey, Richard Burch, Tim Jones and Nick Cleaver. I will pass the updated details onto them.

This Sunday's C Ride is a 37-mile pootle to Cafe 94, Waddesdon. The plan is to ride through Gawcott, Barton Hartshorn, then hang a left before Stratton Audley. Poundon [not the hill!!], Marsh Gibbon, Edgcott then to the Cafe.
The route home is via the Manor, Quainton & The Claydon's enjoying the delightful Southerly wind. Have you noticed when its against you it's a gentle breeze, yet behind it's a full on wind, funny that!! Jesting apart the weather forecast is looking good for the time of year, so no excuses now, lets be 'avin ya.
If the numbers dictate may have to re-think the cafe stop due to '94 being on the small side. That said there are one a two watering holes in the vicinity.
Up for it? Then tap the 'I'm Attending' button, please and I will look forward to seeing you Sunday morning at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

James/John, thank you chaps, appreciate it.

Thank you Paul, not sure how I managed that!

To Noah or not to Noah!!! A boat would have been useful last Sunday with the biblical conditions encountered. Thankfully the weather forecast is not predicting any more rain this weekend. So looking forward to riding two by two through our green & pleasant shire.
Enough already, I'll leave the waffle to our Chairthingy, Chapeau Selby ...........................
We are off to Salcey Forrest, riding a slightly lumpy 38-mile ride taking in the villages of South Northamptonshire. This distance is ideal for those C riders who wish to step-up and stretch their legs at a B pace.
Up for it? Then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and I will look forward to meeting up at The Pool, at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

I want to go out but feel that the forecast wind is too risky, so suggesting we cancel.

This Sunday's ride is posted as a Social gathering for those who wish to delay stuffing the turkey. This 38-mile loop takes us through Finmere, Mixbury, Evenley, Cottisford, Fringford, Marsh Gibbon then onto Quainton stopping at the good 'ol G&D. It would be rude not to endulge in a piece of their infamous Christmas cake, even for the Eccles Cake & Cheese lovers. Choices, choices Mr McMahon!!
The route home is a short[ish] 10-miles via Botolph & East Claydon.
The wind on Sunday is described as gusty at the time of posting this ride, will obviously monitor although hopefully will not be as strong as forecast.
Fancy it? Then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button, deck your bike with tinsel and I will meet you on Sunday morning at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

Have planned a flattish 46-mile loop stopping at the The Old Flight House, Weston on the Green. The cafe, at c.24-miles, does not open until 11:00hrs on Sundays, so may have a have a short wait on arrival.
There is quite a strong breeze forecast, from the South West so should get the benefit on the way home.
Please hit the 'I'm Attending' button if indeed you intend to do so and I will look forward to meeting up on Sunday morning at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

OK Tom, see you there

Hi, fellow Swans, this Sunday's B ride is a 40-mile loop stopping off at Limes Farm Cafe, Farthinghoe.
The route is a tad undulating as we ride through the quaint villages of South Northhamptonshire, stopping for coffee & cake at mile 25. The homeward leg of the ride should be well aided by a West North Westerly breeze.
The average speed of the ride is expected to be c.15mph, considering the elevation & weather conditions. Talking of which the forecast suggests that there may be a shower or two, so worth preparing for the ride accordingly.
Please tap the 'I'm Attending' button, if indeed you intend to do so.
Look forward to meeting up on Sunday morning,
Stewart

Yes, more than welcome, Julie

I'm posting this B ride on behalf of Tim, who will be leading. As the weather forecast is looking soooo good the ride is a 55-mile loop to PJ Mead, 30 to the cafe with 25 on the return trip.
A very light South Easterly with temperatures around 20c, should be a cracker. Might need to consider applying sun cream and carrying plenty of fluids.
Usual rules apply, ride together at an average speed between 15-16mph.
Up for a spin with our illustrious Chairman? Then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button and meet at The 'Pool at 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart.

Suggesting a 49-mile loop stopping at Waterperry Gardens for a cuppa & slice of cake. Should meet-up with the A riders at the same destination.
So we have a route, all that's required is a Ride Leader, or two dependant upon the number of attendees.
Fancy leading? then please make it known on this post. Fancy the ride? then please tap the 'I'm Attending' button.
Arrive at Swan Pool for 08:45hrs for a 09:00hrs depart, enjoy!!

Change of plan with this Sunday's A ride, have opted for P.E. Mead, Tring, as the coffee stop due to the breeze from the South-East. I'm happy to hang onto the coat-tails at c.18mph through-out, anyone with a turbo or two may wish to ride on ahead. Here's hoping we miss the light rain forecast.
Up for it? Then please tap away and make it known.
Catch up Sunday morning at 08:45hrs.
