Bike ride for this week will be 48 miles, with a few lumps. The weather is due to be changeable and colder than recently, so as always dress appropriately (check the weather), helmets compulsory, and bring your spares, tools, food drink etc. It also goes without saying that your bike should be in good working order and you are self-sufficient if you get a puncture or need to leave the ride early for whatever reason. Lights may be needed if light levels are low - please be safe.
Finally just a reminder, these group rides are not coached sessions however there will be guidance and support for all that come along and loopbacks should ensure no one is left behind.

The bridge at Fothinghay is closed until further notice, and Jem's diner has closed, so until we find a new start point, can I suggest Oundle Wharf for now? It's central for Thapston and Peterborough, and there are plenty of cafe's in town for post-ride coffee & cake :-)
