    Thanks for the bump Bronzie.

    I will of course be riding, but planning on keeping it steady :oops: Hopefully all the wind was blown out last weekend.

    heystacky no route markers, you will be given a routesheet before the start (or you can print them off the website http://www.bedsroad.org. Alternatively, follow someone who knows the route!

    Tea, coffee, soup & cake FOC for riders at the end.

    Im up for it.
    Badly need to get my arse in gear after that winter, Im ashamed it got the better of me and my road bike is gagging for some open road.

    Am I right in thinking its all comers welcome? (within reason of course) :lol:

    Thanks to all who turned out today, hard coming back into the wind, but at least the rain held off.

    Just in case you didn't know we've decided to allow all those who rode today and paid their £4 have a free ride for the next reliability ride in two weeks time (27th Feb). 70 and 51 mile routes on offer.

    And thanks for organising it. Apart from the errr.........interesting start with a rather big mass of riders heading out together, it was a great ride over some lovely lanes. Well done.

    Just a reminder about the ride this weekend.

    If you rode the first of our reliability rides then you get free entry to this one.

    Or if you're a bit further south check out Bronzie's Luton CC ride

    Thanks to everyone who turned out to ride yesterday. Started off a lovely morning but slowly got progressively worse, leading to a complete soaking for most of us!
