Inters/A-Ride Sat Mar 9

Just throwing this out there, since the group has had difficulty deciding on routes.

We can decide if it's lunch at JohnnyB's or the Arboretum on the day.

Current forecast is 9C, mostly dry with westerly wind; we can capitalize on the tailwind home :)

129Km / ~81 miles square to square.

Inters/A-ride: Sat Nov 10, 2018

Spoke with JB earlier this evening and he suggested that we head West to take advantage of forecast SW winds. There are a couple of lunch options in Otley, so we agreed it would be a good call...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Nov 03, 2018

I've txt'd JB to find out if an alternate route was discussed last week. However, absent a reply I'm throwing this suggestion out there...

The Sunday crew whetted my appetite and reminded me that we've not been out to Velo Cafe for quite a while, so I figured a stroll out to Beverley would be a ...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Oct 06, 2018

Still watching the forecast wondering if it might be too wet for my wussy ass.

Was thinking about going West past Fewston and down to Otley for some decent scenery and a few less than ornery climbs. Dress appropriately (cold+wet) and bring the winter/rain bike +fenders +lights

Can dry out and ...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Sep 29, 2018

I'm back from LA, it's definitely feeling like fall over here with cooler temps and the trees are turning. I've always been a fan of fall colors, and it's been a while since we visited Thorpe Perrow Arboretum, so I figured it was worth a trip.

It should be a decent day, weather-wise, sunshine, 15C ...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Sep 01, 2018

It looks like another mild, dry,day on deck for Saturday, with a slight southerly breeze. Suggest we take a scenic spin out to Pateley Bridge with a stop at the riverside.

Inters/A-ride: Sat Jul 21, 2018

Not expecting a significant turnout this Sat, many will be tempted by James' Hebden Bridge jaunt and it's prime vacation season.

IIRC, the 9am group did this route a few weeks back, but it's been a while since the 10am group visited the Posthorn.

Forecast is calling for overcast 22C, slight ...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Jul 07, 2018

Long live summer! Forecast is calling for sunny/dry ~25C with a slight NW wind. We haven't been West for a while, so I figured it would be a nice change and includes a few hills for the climbers.

Starting 10am, 154Km / ~95 miles square to square, and a few lumps along the way. Since Cavendish ...

Inters/A-ride: Sat Jun 23, 2018

I'm still enjoying the official start of summer in California, I understand that a few regulars are also MIA. Despite, that GrahamT has kindly volunteered to lead a merry band of riders for an impromtu ride (TBD at the square) or a trip to the seaside.

If the group agrees on the latter, here's a ...

A-ride: Sat Jun 16, 2018

I'll be doing my (now) regular Saturday group ride in Los Angeles this week, however, JohnB has kindly agreed to lead the previously agreed ride out to How Stean gorge.

I don't think the UK weather will be quite up to par, but it should be mild, mid-teen temps with potential for southerly wind and ...

A-ride: Sat Jun 9, 2018

Coincident with the Inters-Thrash ride moving to 9am, I've received several suggestions to resurrect the long lost A-ride to fill the void in the club's Saturday schedule. Looking to better manage my (work) travel schedule, it also serves to anchor my commitment to getting out more often.

Yesterday's A-ride was a complete disaster and it's becoming increasingly obvious that we've lost the plot, namely: http://www.cliftoncc.org/road_riding/social

Of the 8 riders that left the square, half were dropped, abandoned and left for dead, most before the York ring-road, as the ...
