I've spent the day sorting a new route to avoid, I hope, all the flooding current and forecast. Distance is a bit less at roughly 46 miles. There will be a route map on display at the signing on, and route cards available. If I can I will drive round on Saturday and put up some yellow day glow direction arrows (from the Stinger sportive) to further assist riders. Thanks to Paul Darby and Lucy for volunteering to help at the start, much appreciated. Everyone else, I hope you will all turn up and ride, the roads selected are generally good, avoid any ridiculous hills, and should make for good day out. Weather forecast at this moment is for Sunday to be breezy, early showers (60% likely) and average temps. HQ, Stourport Sports Club, will open from 09.00, signing on starts soon after, groups leave at 10.00, 10.05, 10.10 - fast lot off first. Speeds for each are 18mph, 15mph, 12mph. £3 on the day to enter.

An excellent reliability trial yesterday.
A good turn out with weather that just couldn't have been better, clear blue skies and light winds (rain the day before and rain today!
Everyone I spoke to seemed to have a good ride, although I think the front of the fast group was 'brutal' as Shaun put it, but he had a great ride holding on with them.
It was a very good turn out from Wyre forest CRC, some faces who haven't been out for a while back on the bikes for the coming season.
Great thanks to Dave Prior for all of the organisation, signage, last minute flood changes, course re-routing and most of all cakes! Thanks as well to Lucy Walters for help with signing-on as well as time keeping and John Smith for getting the times displayed so quickly on the screen in the club house.
Well done all, can we have the same weather next year?
