May day ride

NOW SORTED

Well a few things have been bantered about but nothing settled.
As the Sunday is the Cake ride a slightly longer ride could well be the order of the day.
We could do the one going to the lakes (nice cafe) http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7632400 
Mainly I need a ride leader /Lantern Rouge.I should be up to running the Broom wagon so the Jelly Babies are sorted.

Right I am going to have a little tweak of this route and post it for NEXT MONDAY as it is a Bank Holiday
unless some one else steps up pretty darn quick with something.
And yes I will be chasing you in the club Broom wagon handing out jelly babies.

Would have loved to have to up the lead but unfortunately I have to work

Missing you already Ricky
Right I have a little play and it comes out at about 85 miles BUT no big nasty shocks Slad is in which as some of you know is a nice long gentleish climb.But if you look at the profile there is nowt really bad a couple of short sharp but no NASTY shocks

First stop is in Stonehouse for a quick coffee and cake then onto the cafe on the lakes .As those that did this last year you will know the cafe is very welcoming with good hot reasonable priced meals,then a nice little trip back across the Cotswold's and home.

It's the Cake ride on the Sunday which is a bit gentle and short ,so this is great to get some miles in over the Bank Holiday.
I am running the broom wagon so all I need is some one with a Garmin to make sure you the right way.

I will hopefully be doing the Lumpy Scrumpy on Saturday so wont be on the cake run but if able will happily cover Lantern Rouge on the Monday.

XXX extra jelly babies for you

Like Simon I'll be doing the Lumpy Scrumpy and so will be recovering on Cake Ride Sunday in preparation for the May Day ride which I will be happy to lead for a few jelly babies. Usual 9am start ?

Gary ,I never thought I would say this, but, you are a star (or is it you will do any thing for a jellybaby and some  Haribos)
Yep 09.00 please to make it a nice day with no rushing.
I dont normally ask  this BUT could you please give me an idea if you are hoping to make this.I will not hold you to it just helps me a  bit.

Should be there for this one.

You could check it out Friday.

I have slightly hillier plans for Friday unfortunately

I will be riding Monday also with Garmin so will help Garry as best as possible.
