This is also a great opportunity for people looking to get back on the bike again.
This is a nice flat ride and will allow the group to stick together.
The coffee stop will be at Neros at the end of the ride.
There is no logical place on route.
Unless we do two laps and count Nero's as the halfway point!
I am rather partial to mid ride coffee stop, there is the Six Acre Nurseries Garden Centre which is only slightly off route at Costock LE12 6XB or the Bradmore Garden Centre NG11 6PQ (web site for this doesn't seem to function so I'm not sure if it is still going) Just a suggestion
Martin, check it out and get back to us and if it is open we could stop!
Just phoned Bradmore Garden Centre and the friendly chap said we are welcome to use their cafe for our coffee stop, apparently they are having a new website put together which is why it doesn't work at the moment.
Great Martin. Lets build that in ;-)
Great idea Martin, would be lovely to have a stop on this ride.
Great, I can collect my shrubbery!!
Even Pamela's interested now there's a garden centre en-route!
Well I don't want to carry it home!
I could sow some seeds on my bike as it is well due a clean :-)
Talking optimistically here, if the smow doesn't settle it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow than today, according to the very accurate met office forecast. We still up for it then?
We will need to decide in the morning. It may get up to zero for 9 am.
We've just walked most of the way home from the city centre as the roads are treacherous, having seen a no.5 bus advancing sideways on Canning circus on the way in. I wonder if social sledging may be more appropriate?! I still have a good scar on my knee from the last time I rode (and failed to brake) in snow....
DUE TO SNOW AND SAFETY ISSUES ESPECIALLY ON THE SIDE ROADS WE HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL.
GO GET A SLEDGE AND HAVE SOME FUN. :-)
Is this the first time we've cancelled a social ride?
Yes - I think so.
Fun in the snow what a lovely family day :-)
Went sledging on Bramcote Park instead with the family, fantastic. Tried the Nature Reserve but our roads were too, well not exactly icey, just squidgy!
Disappointed to have lost this ride as I missed the last two social rides (though I totally agree with the decision to cancel) any chance of rescheduling it for a week on Sunday, 19th of Feb?
Post it up as a new ride Martin!
Sounds a bit technical but I could give it a go, thanks Charlie
Give it a try, click 'new ride' and fill in the blanks. Easy peasy.
