Amblers ride 3rd Feb - 9AM start
« on: January 30, 2019, 01:07:12 PM »
I'm not here for this weekend. I'll be visiting my Parents. Weather is looking fairly good though. Dry and very little wind but a little chilly. I can post a route for you to follow unless anyone else has any ideas.

Here's the route if anyone wants to try it. Sounds like the Chasers maybe doing it as well.

That'll be up to who ever is out. You could stop at Costa in Cowbridge. Do you want to lead Nick?

I will, unless an more experienced rider wants to do it.

If you are out riding Sunday watch out for ice on the smaller roads, maybe take the time to stay home and do bit of turbo. It’s a long season and a simple fall could spoil it. The BBC forecast looked promising last Thursday, but it’s looking to be around zero at 9am tomorrow. There are lots of untreated roads and those skinny treadless tyre do not like ice. Weather is getting warmer next week ready for the RR1.

Probably not out tomorrow (at least not early) so unlikely to be there...

Good advice and still very cold. I will probably head out later once things warm up.

Do we meet at 10 and do the one lap of RR1, weather will be warmer. I will be at Physiques at 10.

Ben, can you remind everyone on the club ride today that the online team store is open today. See thread on the forum under Club Kit. Thanks.

I left Physiques at 10, no one else about, I did a route to Llantwit, still ice on the road. Most of the road was dry and free of ice
