    Couldn't feel my toes when I got back but a lovely morning nevertheless. Onwards and upwards as they say.

    My work has changed on Thurs (again) and I am now available all day so could go out earlier than 14.30 if anyone wants an outing

    Cool - earlier is better for me as I've got to get to Cambridge at a reasonable time for wee drinkie. Forecast looks OK, how big a ride are you up for?

    That rather depends how long you want to wait.

    Realistically I can only be out there 2 hrs.

    I can make this one - are you meeting at the same place as before?
    I have no problems with time!

    13.00 would be good for me. Happy to do same route (i.e. the Belton, Long Watton, Diseworth loop) but Mr B may like a change?

    When you doing it? How many miles and is it very hilly. Couldn't do last one due to my other hobby and being in Worksop :)

    Ayup Steve,

    Any chance of starting tomorrow before lunch? My plans have changed a bit so I need to be in Cambridge by 4:30. Could we start at, say, 11:30?

    Also, do you remember the route? I wasn't paying attention on Saturday :)

    We're meeting at 11:30 John, just in case that 30 minutes makes a difference to whether you can make it :)

    Guys - you are not a million miles away from the reliability ride that starts at Rosliston Forest (just outside Burton-on-Trent) on Sunday at 10.00am.

    If it was like last week's ride, there will be a a hundred or so to join in with and cost is minimal (last week was free)

    Reliability - how far?

    I believe that the one on Sunday is organised by Lichfield CC. 2 laps of 30 miles I think and nobody worries too much if you only do 1 lap and then spend time in the cafe whilst the keenies complete the second lap (and the racing snakes usually arrive in the cafe just a few minutes afterwards). :lol:

    John/MrB/Fludey/Let??

    Can do Sat or Sun if that makes a difference to anyone.

    Need to be home by 11.00 on Sat though.
