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.

john13:34 Sun 29 Jan

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

martint18:45 Sun 29 Jan

Martin, check it out and get back to us and if it is open we could stop!

john19:30 Sun 29 Jan

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 ;-)

john17:35 Mon 30 Jan

Great idea Martin, would be lovely to have a stop on this ride.

lesag12:32 Tue 31 Jan

Great, I can collect my shrubbery!!

iang20:11 Tue 31 Jan

Even Pamela's interested now there's a garden centre en-route!

newsonoid20:18 Tue 31 Jan

Well I don't want to carry it home!

lesag20:25 Tue 31 Jan

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?

newsonoid17:23 Sat 4 Feb

We will need to decide in the morning. It may get up to zero for 9 am.

john18:56 Sat 4 Feb

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. :-)

john08:01 Sun 5 Feb

Is this the first time we've cancelled a social ride?

newsonoid08:08 Sun 5 Feb

Yes - I think so.

climberruss08:35 Sun 5 Feb

Fun in the snow what a lovely family day :-)

john15:14 Sun 5 Feb

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!

newsonoid15:34 Sun 5 Feb

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?

martint19:38 Sun 5 Feb

Post it up as a new ride Martin!

charlie19:49 Sun 5 Feb

Sounds a bit technical but I could give it a go, thanks Charlie

martint20:15 Sun 5 Feb

Give it a try, click 'new ride' and fill in the blanks. Easy peasy.
