Beds Road CC Reliability Ride? - Sunday 22 Feb

Forum Admin [Martin]

A few people have mentioned this already. How about this for a bit of a different Sunday Club Run?

Their HQ is in/near Cardington [past Old Warden near the two big old airship hangars]. £4. 8.30am for a 9am start. 50 mile and 70 mile options. Not a race. Either drive or ride over. Weather forecast for Sunday pretty good for Feb.

Aye - well done to the CC Ashwell contingent and to Ash again for coming 2nd in another race yesterday too.

I faded back to the pack after the first 35 miles - and then missed a turn to add another 9 miles. I needed Daniel's GPS - but he was too far ahead! I rolled in late; 79 miles at 18.0 mph. Still had tea and swiss roll tho. Good turn out overall and some nice scenery en route. Maybe a few more CCA faces next year?

It was indeed a grand day out. Fun to be rolling along in such a large group of cyclists. It was dead easy for the first 25 miles or so! The next 6 saw the pelton thin to just two abreast and then, I am afraid, I was struggling. I fell back and hooked up with some friendly triathletes from Milton Keynes, luckily their GPS was working (mine not!) so I got back without errors. Too bad I missed you Martin! I rolled in with only 70 miles on the clock at 17.5 mph.

I have spotted Ash well in the background of one of the photos on the Beds Road, see link above.
