November ride for food - the Chilterns, Saturday 19th November

[ianrauk]

Frank, I have edited the title with the new date.

 

[StuAff]

Fine by me too.

 

[srw]

Sorry - I'm out for definite. Weekend away!

 

[CharlieB]

Still in!

 

[Becs]

still fine for me

 

[rb58]

And me....

 

[Mark Grant]

I OK with that.

 

[martint235]

I'd better add a post so it shows up in My Content list. I'm in.

 

[gbs]

I confirm that subject to weather I will be there but not for the full distance unless the legs perform above average for the year todate

 

[Mark One]

Hi Frank

Count me in for this one too.

Cheers
Mark

I would like to join this if I could please Frank, but could I meet up in Gerrards Cross & then peel off for home once we reach Chalfont st Giles so I will be on the ride for 50 miles or so. I'm a little worried about keeping up though as this ride will be straight after my nightshift. As a test I went out yesterday morning after work and averaged just over 15mph over 60 odd miles. Will this be fast enough?

Sounds like you will fit in just fine, Jay. We did pretty much that speed on the Rye ride yesterday.

There are a few other people joining at Gerards Cross so that will work well, too. I'll suggest an expected time for when we should be there when the size of the group is clear.

bah, Chilterns and Whiteleaf and all I was going to add my presence

but sadly for me and luckily for you lot not having to listen to my puffing like steam engine on anything uphill, I shall be accompaning West Ham on their trp to collect 3 points from Coventry

Well it is with some regret that both myself and Martok have to pull out of this ride due to us moving flats. We're likely to do the route on the 5th or 6th depending on the weather as we both don't want to miss out but if that plan doesn't come to fruition I'll likely be doing November's 100 solo at some point.

Now that the leaves are turning, it's time to get this organised.

Firstly, these rides seem to work best without having a morning cafe stop but instead pushing on during the warmest part of the day. So, with great regret, I'll drop the Deep Mill Diner and its scrummy breakfast rolls

.

But I need to give the pub an idea of numbers for lunch. From a perusal of the thread, I have the following. However, those at the bottom of the list signed up for the original date so may not be able to make the new one.

These people have said yes since the date change so I'm assuming that you are planning to come, and will be wanting to have lunch at the pub:

Ianrauk
Martint235
gbs
jayonabike
Mark One
Mark Grant
rb58
Becs
StuAff
DavyWalnuts
+ me

These people - please could you confirm if you are ok for the new date and therefore want lunch?

I'll be posting a couple of routes shortly:
- there'll be a small tweak to the main route. As we don't need to go to the Deep Mill Diner, we can take out a right turn off the main road which is slightly dodgy for a big group.
- there'll also be a couple of short cuts for those who don't want quite such a long ride or who are finding the hills a bit hilly.

Frank

PS Abs, sorry you and Martok can't make it
