Some of Buckinghamshire is flat - 29th September

[velovoice]

I won't have my new bike by then but 29th Sept works for me and I'm keen to do this - I shall speak with FD and let you know.

What average speed will you be doing? Part of this is on my home ground so would love to join you if I can keep up

I'm no whippet by any means but these friendly folk always seem to adopt the "leave no man behind" rule. I'm just hoping the words "near Go Ape" doesn't crop up quite a few surprisingly vicious little climbs around there iirc.

 

[lilolee]

Should be do able. Look forward to it.

Bother. Neither date works for either of us.

Darn shame, SRW, as I nicked some of your routing from a previous ride.

Is it going up the same way as last year or the other way around? Only I did it last year on my road bike, and I should have it back on the road by then

It's a slightly different approach than last year, to be honest the climb's a bit longer.

The 'leave no man behind' rule always applies. And yes, we will see Go Ape signs.

This is looking encouraging - Mods - could the date in the title be changed, please?

After a week off in Turkey, cycling yesterday morning I thought I had forgotten too.... wrong side of the road and all that...

Date noted. Hopefully I have leave sorted for Claud's ride out from Newport on Friday, but I should be able to make this as well. First train I can get into Berko arrives 1022.

 

[Snail Bait]

Depending on speed I am interested.

Hi NicciT and Snail Bait, at a rough guess about 13-14mph rolling average. But as ever, no-one gets left behind.
