Saturday morning rides - October

Great turn out of 13 this morning, nice to have a decent sized group with familiar faces and some new ones.

Nice weather. ~27 miles in 90 minutes (not including our wait for the hunt horseriders to clear the road!).

Cheers

Mark

Looks like we're in for another good, dry and sunny day tomorrow out through Upton Snodsbury and Pershore.

For anyone who's thinking of joining us the pace is fairly steady, we averaged 16.5 mph the first week, 18 mph on a flatter route last week.

Hi all,

Saturday morning group training rides. 25-30 miles at a brisk but social pace (~17 mph) good to get some group riding practice and miles in but leaving plenty in the tank for the main Sunday bash or racing/cx. Those wanting more can do a 2nd lap.

10.30am prompt (by my gps!) at the old bridge (New Road on the cricket club side)
A definitive start time means riders aren't hanging around getting cold.

To quote the Rules "Anyone arriving after the stated time of departure should see, far up the road, the lycra-clad asses of Ones-Who-Take Riding-Seriously." biggrin

We typically ride 2up in a compact group, pairs rolling off the front every 5 minutes or so. Please be considerate of your fellow riders; point and call out potholes or other hazards, use a bike with proper mudguards when conditions get damp or wet.

Where to:

6/10 - Callow End, Upton, Pershore, Wadborough, Norton (25 miles)

13/10 - Spetchley, Inkberrow, Stock Green, Crowle (26 m)

20/10 - Upton Snodsbury, Pinvin, Defford, Severn Stoke (28 m)

27/10 - Hatfield, Upton, Longdon, Castlemorton, Welland, Callow End (32 m)

3/11 - Bransford, Knightwick, Suckley, Bransford (Hilly 14 cse), Leigh Sinton, Newland, Jennett Tree Lane (27 m)

Other routes/suggestions welcome

Mark
