Saturday gravel loop: 64 km with a café stop at the halfway mark

Count me in. Is a 35 mm tyre enough or do I need something wider?

35 mm is fine. The chalk ridge section is the only rough bit.

What is the café like for vegetarians?

Hill Farm does a great cheese toastie. Get there before the walkers do.

I will be there. First gravel ride so be kind.

Is there a bail-out if the weather turns?

Yes, at 40 km you can drop down to the river path and be back in town in 45 minutes.

Rode the recce last month, the descent after the ridge is loose. Take it easy.

Can I bring a friend who is not a member yet?

Of course. Everyone is welcome on club rides.

Any chance of a later start? 08:30 is early for a Saturday.

We keep 08:30 so we are back by lunchtime. There is a later ride on Sundays.

Will there be a puncture stop plan? I am still learning tubeless.

Kwame is coming, so we will have the best tubeless mechanic in town with us.

Just downloaded the GPX. The elevation profile looks manageable.

How long are you estimating with the café stop?

About four and a half hours all in.

See you all at the clock. Forecast looks dry.
