Hi Jon, if you are still short of leaders I can do Sat.12/12 (possibly with a slightly earlier start time) and Sun.21/2 if required.

Regards, Chris.

Any more offers to lead rides?

2009-11-24T11:52:05Z

On Thursday, I need to send the rides list for inclusion in the Oxford
Cyclist. There are still a few rides without leaders. Would anyone
like to take any of these on?

Cheers
Jon

I looked in on the Daylesford in the summer with a view to adding it to the
café guide but decided perhaps they might not always be pleased to see a
bunch of hot and sweaty cyclists! Like to sound of the samples though...

Looking forward to it. Need the exercise.

I had some time to kill in the Kingham area yesterday and despite the
wind and the drizzle I quite enjoyed squelching through the leaf
litter, up hill, down dale, around Cornwell and Chastleton.

Stopped in at Daylesford. It's gone even more up market. However, free

Sunday Ride 9:30am Buttercross

2009-11-19T10:09:44Z

Sunday weather is going to be windy, probably cloudy, but hopefully
dry. I'm planning a flat upwind dash to Lechlade, then cross wind to
Uffington, and down wind home. Around 50 miles with 2 stops.

Bad weather alternative will be shorter and more sheltered. Note to
9:30 am start time.

Cheers

I've been hoodwinked into riding to London for the climate protest on
Dec 5th. We'll be riding in on the Friday, staying in Islington on
Friday and Saturday nights, and making our way back Sunday. (Well most
of them will, I'm going to Roehampton for a Limbless Association AGM
and returning Monday).

I'll do Sat 13th Feb - will let you have more details when I have
thought up where to go.

Well done Chris - but you are getting quite a reputation for leading in
extreme weather conditions.

Yes, but what were we thinking of ? I turned up on time to find Paul waiting for me and, almost his first words were "I'm quite happy to go home if you don't fancy riding". Well, we should have quit then because next to arrive was Neil, shortly followed by Kevin. Neil said he had cycled every day that week and it had rained, so what was different about Saturday ? Kevin was also "up for it". After a brief discussion we decided on a short run over to Aston for refreshments, then home for lunch. To show they meant business, Neil put on what looked like a waterproof masonic apron and Kevin called in at home to put on his tinted cycling specs ! So, cycling into a gale force wind with the rain stinging our faces we ploughed on over to Aston, where we sat in wet clothes and enjoyed our refreshments, except Paul, who had been eyeing up the last jumbo sausage roll, only to have it snatched away from him by a large lady with sharp elbows. We thought the return leg would be better as the wind would be behind us but, if anything, the rain got worse so we were soaked back and front ! Still, I have to say that it was a memorable morning, in good company, but next time the weather forecast says gale force winds and lashing rain I might think twice before venturing out !

Hi Jon

I have put myself down to lead on Sunday 20 December. Bicester Breakfast Baps @ Wyevale Centre, 45 miles, a few moderate hills. Also a range of high quality retail outlets for your pleasure.

(Breakfast Baps subject to availability. Hills may go up as well as down. Batteries not included. Only as part of a calorie controlled diet.)

Hi Jon,

Although you don't see me often (about once a year!), I'd be happy to lead Sat 9th Jan to get the New Year off to a good start. I'm thinking taking the scenic route to Hilltop, Ramsden for a light lunch. Would that be OK?

Best wishes,

Richard F

New winter "Rides List"

Dear All

Kevin has asked me to take over coordinating the rides list. I've
added the dates in for the next 3 months. If you usually lead rides
please could you pick one (or more) to lead. If you haven't led a
ride please feel free to have a go, it would be appreciated.

A list of the rides is below. Either add your name to the online
