If you chaps want me to lead this Saturday it will have to be late morning as I've got to look at a job first thing. I should be ok for a 1130 start :)

Ah, same here, may have to bow out if it's a long loop and finishes too late.

Should hopefully make it though.

Depending on the route we take its about 18 miles or 26 miles the turning point is at the RSPB which is about 14 miles in to the ride so can always decide at that point what to do. The 18 miler can be done in about 1.5 hrs and the 26 miler about 2-2.5hrs but thats going pretty much balls out with little stopping and no tea break at RSPB so i would say at least 3 hrs+

i could probably get to the meeting point a bit earlier if it helps, say 11 for a 1130 start ?

weather tomorrow is looking much better too :)

If you can do 10 miles around etc then you will be fine with this, it's longer distance but much easier...

11:30 would be better for me, but don't want to impose it on people.

Should make it, may have to run away from the girlfriend. From the sounds of the route, I'll be alright with a single ring up front on my trek? As long as there's no ridiculous hills.

Defo won't need a granny ring on this ride

I can do either time so I'll leave it upto the jury to decide :)
