Hello all,

Tomorrow's weather looks like it could be a bit duff.........

So, if it's ok we can do this route http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/11013657

or if not go for plan B !!

See you tomorrow,

DavidJ

Nice ride today - cheers. Lots of us out too. 24 or so I think. Apparently the other group cheated and went down Barrington Hill instead of up it though ;-)

DavidJ

Yep was about that out yesterday morning. Pretty good for a foggy day in November. Two rides were probably best classed as quick & only marginally less quick !! 14 of us did the route above & definitely did the climb up Barrington hill. Everybody was flying, so we tacked on station loop at the end to make it 37 miles @ 16 avg.

Congrats to Tom who won the sprint into Ashwell by pretending that his legs were shot going up the hill to the station......... crafty !!

Also great to see the other group coming the other way through Thriplow. Two CCA peletons crossing was a sight to behold :)

Thanks everybody for a great ride.

Not bad then for someone who had shot legs and bad back hey Tom.....? I'm not sure that you could run this same story next week....

Hang on did I not win the sprint into Ashwell, or is it because I turned off before the pub so I was disqualified?????? Well done everyone though, it was a fast ride in the conditions and with only the one stop at Barrington hill!!!! We were definitely 'in the zone' on Saturday.

As if being on the front for 20 miles is not enough for you Paul.... you want the sprint too!!!!
Might try the farmers' lung excuse next week!!

That's because I got the sprint..I was nicely warmed up by then :)

Wow, this is turning into pistols at dawn stuff !!

Methinks a rematch is in order............
