I’m going to try to get to the end of the funeral, if not the start. Depending on timing of the ride and ferries, I might have to break away from the group and do a sprint to Emsworth.
The weather forecast for the 18th is looking good.
We haven’t been to West Stoke for a while? Anyone game?

Both the Met Office and BBC are forecasting a cold day tomorrow with more than 60% chance of rain all morning, so I think we should postpone to 14th March.
I’ve been suffering from a cold all week so it’s unlikely I’ll be riding on Tuesday. Sorry.
I suggest a trip to Compton as most people know the route. You can see the usual one in the Portsmouth CTC route library here. Feel free to post an alternate suggestion.
I don’t think we’re going to get a booking for that many people even with some dropping out.
Instead, I propose a trip to Hillier Garden centre tomorrow (Monday) which says the coffee shop will be open. I’ll go with whoever turns up at 10 at HIADS (or later at The Spring).
I’ll keep an eye on the weather and, if it’s looking good, make a booking at the Woodmancote for next Tuesday (10th). Let me know if you can make it (weather permitting).
That was a popular suggestion!
Getting a booking for that many people could be a challenge – I’m on it!
Keep an eye on your email for an update.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is the best we’re going to get, so I’ll see you if you can make it tomorrow (Friday), 10 at HIADS.
We are fated! Given the forecast, another postponement is inevitable. We could try another Tuesday, but it might be better to look for a day when the weather is more favourable. Would there be any takers for Friday this week (the 18th).
The weather’s looking relatively dry tomorrow but the Met Office and BBC are forecasting strong winds again.
I’m therefore proposing a second week’s postponement to 15th November.
The BBC forecast for tomorrow is for heavy rain and high winds. The Met Office is also showing high winds and a good chance of heavy rain. I therefore propose a postponement to next Tuesday, 8th November, but I’ll need to be back by 2pm.
Because of the adverse weather forecast and the very heavy showers we’ve had recently, Peter and I have decided to postpone the ride for a week to Tuesday 13th September.
We’ll go to Compton.
Hopefully, we’ll have better luck.
