Light westerly wind, so...

Finchingfield? Here is the shortest way there and back I can fathom. 67 miles.

Or, given the 9:30 riders are going to Grafton Water, maybe we do the opposite for a bit of choice - down, down to Bayford, two-thirds the London commute, and loop back thru the middle of Hertford. Route 60 miles.

See you at 9:00am

    Terrific ride - thanks Trahern. Skirting towards Finchingfield but then towards the Bumpsteads and around to get the brilliant road/runway to Fulbourn [Pete took the sprint]. Everyone took their turn. Dave and Tim H doing more than their share - appreciated. 11 out. 70 miles @ 19.gr8 mph av. Fastest club run of the year for me. Back 12.45pm. Route.

    Top route thanks Dave for the tow home nice one :-) well done all.

    Apologys to all for my burpiness and general windyness. Dont eat a mean fish curry washed down with Belgium Duvel Larger and strawberry beer, the night before a long ride.

    thanks all for a cracking ride when you all put the hammer down that was it for me either i am getting slower or your all getting faster.
    but anyway i enjoyed it as usual i limped back to ashwell with ian & james a big thanks to ian for filling my bidons i was running on empty.

    I finished with 90 miles @ 18 avg lost a fair bit of speed in last 20 miles so,pedaling squares as they say.
    I will see you all next week.

    cheers
    strappy.

    Great ride but it did hurt for the last 20! Nice inclusion of Col de Barrington however I couldn't respond to those who could put the hammer down on it. A few weeks misbehaving and have been found out. Thanks Strappy and Foulkesy for hanging on till I got my breath back. That was a long drag from haslingfield to home. Told off for being late for the roast but worth it :) let's hope the weather stays good for a while yet.
