Hi Dan. Please can you take my jersey to the club ride tomorrow, all paid for. Emma will collect it with hers and David’s. Many thanks.
-
Hi Will. Have sent you requested details.
-
Yes,idiot proof instructions will be needed!
-
Do you still need a second driver Will?
-
Gransden is about half way round. How about coffee and cake at my house?
-
Thanks all for a fantastic day. Special thanks to David and Emma for refreshments at 80 miles (the legendary Guiness cake lived up to its reputation!!) and Tim for the best hot pizza and cold beer at the finish!! Tom
-
I'm in. Not sure it'll be the best training for a 10k run on Sunday!
-
I'll take your place Pete.
-
It was me. Really nice to be appreciated.

Three of us set out on Susan's brilliant suggestion of a cake run.
On the road between Old Warden and Southill we met a riderless horse! The rider having borrowed a bike from a cyclist who happened upon her giving chase. We blocked the road an… -
The Royal British Legion branches tend to tour a number of village War Memorials on Remembrance Sunday, obviously can't all be at 11.00. Also the minutes silence may well be timed to coincide with the Local Church service.

The radar pictures show more rain to come.
So I won't be navigating today. -
Indeed a tour of the north is the plan.(Dry Drayton via Barrington and back via the Gransdens)
However the guest navigator doesn't function well in the rain and will wimp out if it's raining at 8am when I need to leave home.
So if you… -
No problem. I've whispered you my phone number.

Hi Kieren.
I agree with Shaun's suggestions above. What will you carry it all in? Panniers or rucksack? Which ever I would suggest training with the load you intend to carry.
I have a light weight pannier set that will fit a road bike… -
I'm in for the 9th.
-
11 out on the Intro ride. New man David out with us for the first time, think we convinced him to come back!
25 miles at 15mph followed by coffee at the Maynards (many thanks Alison and Richard) ...just like old times!!
Tom -
Sorry, took one look at the weather and wimped out!!
Now doing some armchair cycling in front of the telly!!
Tom -
Thanks all for your messages of support. It was truly a fantastic trip, I was so lucky with the weather!
I had a day in hand so did some sight seeing on my bike yesterday. Feeling a bit lost without it this morning as I wait at Inverness for m… -
Thanks all for your thoughts. I've made a serious mistake tonight! I seem to have found the only B&B in the world that doesn't serve breakfast!!
Looking forward to PeteT joining me tomorrow.

I didn't get any camping notes as I'm heading for a comfy bed each night! Happy to pass on yha stuff if its useful? Also got ctc notes for a fast route.
My trip starts on 7th June. Also solo and unsupported. (Sounds like I have no friends!!) -
Hi Tim. I didn't find it very easy to get the gpx files from Cicerone when I was doing my research.
In the end I decided to plot my own route and then map it on map my ride. Only one person to blame if it all goes pear-shaped!!! The CTC is a… -
I'm definitely not out. Probably doing some hill training on two feet! Dare I admit it on a cycling website (running!!)
Btw, I've now got a just giving page for my lejog trip. www.justgiving.com Thanks.

Thought I ought to clarify the aim of two club rides.
When David and I thought about introducing the Club run plus, the main aim was to split the club run due to increasing numbers. (Which is a great problem to have and everybody is welcome).… -
I thought yesterday's ride in the Chilterns was tough but today's Club run + was up there with it!
Nice to welcome a visitor from Leeds.
Final stats 18.8 over 42 miles.
Thanks all. Tom -
Thanks all for a great ride. I did have a few moments where a change of hobby beckoned!! esp. on the hill where the front wheel wanted to leave the ground!!
Tom -
Many thanks for the routes Shaun.
I'll have space in the car for one. I'm also happy to navigate a slower group if needed.
Really glad to see the coffee stop included!!
Tom -
Hope to be there. Will depend on work. Thanks Jane.
-
Another great club run plus.10 riders. We didn't deviate too much from David's route just added the hill past RSPB after coming up Everton hill, and maybe the odd lane towards Haynes! Highlight has to be steaming down Cardington hill with a tailwin…

Hi Susan. I've sent you a whisper.
Cheers. Tom
