Title: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: Andy H on November 27, 2018, 05:57:32 PM: Weather dependent, plan to make what has become an attempt at an annual trip to Bethlehem.

The usual route is 148km and 2000+m of elevation but there is an option to avoid a chunk of the climbing on the way home!!

If you fancy the trip, express an interest here and we can have a 'chat' about route options

Post by: Andy H on December 13, 2018, 01:22:13 PM: Couple of things:-

1. Ade, you won't be a liability, so come along.

2. It's a long ride so I'd plan to start at 8;30

3. What are people's thoughts with regard to current weather forecast.

Basically cool, wet but not too windy.
Personally I'd say OK as long as it doesn't look to get any worse.

Post by: Mark Pope on December 13, 2018, 04:05:42 PM: It looks OK Andy. I'll see you at 0830 unless weather changes significantly for the worse.

Post by: RichardB on December 13, 2018, 09:42:25 PM: I'm still up for this and the 8-30 start 😀

Post by: Andy H on December 15, 2018, 03:15:20 PM: Looks like windier and wetter weather as the day goes on!
Title: Re: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: Mark B on December 15, 2018, 03:33:31 PM: Sorry, full up with a cold, so I won’t be out. Enjoy!

Post by: Andy H on December 15, 2018, 04:44:09 PM: Don't want to commit to this if only 2 or 3 of us are going, it'd be a long day!
I've heard from Rich B who is still up for it, anybody else?

Post by: xrayspecs on December 15, 2018, 04:50:58 PM: I had planned to join you; I don't think the weather will be favourable (I know its only a forecast). I think its best left to a calmer day with less chance of rain.

Post by: Terry A on December 15, 2018, 06:10:31 PM: Andy, I echo Chris G''s comments and going to give it a miss.
Title: Re: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: Nige on December 15, 2018, 06:31:15 PM: Not for me sorry,far too wet,windy and cold and forecast is awful.

Post by: Reece0 on December 15, 2018, 06:48:27 PM: Not looking good tomorrow so zwift for me
Title: Re: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: xrayspecs on December 15, 2018, 06:49:46 PM: That said I am planning to go out (principally to justify a slice of cake) ; vale based if bad so i'll make my way to Brackla for 930.
Title: Re: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: RichardB on December 15, 2018, 06:56:44 PM: I'll be out for 9-30 too. I think we will be ok keeping it local, the bad weather appears to be coming in from the west and will hit us later.
Title: Re: Chasers Christmas Sojourn to Bethlehem! Sunday 16th December
Post by: Mark Pope on December 15, 2018, 07:38:16 PM: The consensus seems to be for a 0930 start. I'll see you all at Physiques.

Post by: Andy H on December 15, 2018, 08:49:42 PM: I think common sense prevails, happy to try again next Sunday.
