Great stuff. Don't worry Karl there are about 7 of us riding so no reason why cannot wait a little while.

One thing we cannot avoid is the weather warning. I am ok with the current prediction but I do have a track record of foolhardiness (ref bad crash on Dartmoor in torrential rain).

Is everyone still ok with the ride ??

OK with the weather although there is a chance i may not make it. We are supplying a beer festival at Warwick Races today and tomorrow and depending on the weather they may well want extra beer, on Saturday morning :facepalm: And i have no oompa loompas to delegate to :facepalm: I've already spoken to Dave about this and will drop him a PM either way Saturday AM.

Re:

I will definitely be coming. Will PM for a contact number in case of travel problems.

I must admit I have not ridden on the road in heavy rain apart from getting drowned ten minutes from home the other week. Feet got soaked...

See you tomorrow - Chris.

Just a thought - Robin & Daj: If you think the weather is bad enough that you would not normally consider riding, I am fine if you want to postpone it.

If we don't do this ride I will be getting my legs ripped off on a club ride so no ducking out options for me!

Weather looks ok during the day although when we cop a shower we will know all about it I think I may get a tad damp on the way over to Stow and then on the way back. My hair is made from lightening rods so I may need to be careful...

Hmm.. An amber weather warning has just flashed up on the Met office... for rain! That and thunder is threatened at 2pm.... could get interesting.

That's all right. The thunder will help to drown out Daj's moans as we face yet another punchy climb :facepalm:
