Its dry, cloudy with sunny spells and warm!
Maybe a 75m GD route clockwise with turn offs for shorter routes.

    see you at 8am at the tunns

    Looks like the better day so will be there.

    Will, the GD (Geoff Denny) route nevers gets that far from Ashwell. Assuming Robbie is following this route (http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/2430835) clockwise down to Cardington and Blunham, you could turn off after Everton Hill, perhaps? This would give about a 37m Ashwell loop, so 2 and a bit hours.

    Not sure I'll be there this week, lads, I seem to have borked a muscle above my knee. Needs a bit of rest, I think.

    Strappy... going down Langford Hill then taking a right at the bottom.
    And Will, yes many turn offs. Think Everton is the one for you as Shaun says.
    There's another at Hasslingfield to make a 50m.
    We'll go on to Duxford and Chisell.

    Thanks guys that was hard and good. Loved the coffee stop and frankly needed it. Probably the longest ride I have done on a fixed gear and I was totally whacked by the time I got home. Good prep for Ghent though. Now trying to find an excuse to pop into Mocktoberfest for some recovery :)
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    7 riders. 3 punctures. A coffee stop. 72 miles.
    And a dirty bike.
  • AlistairAlistair
    Sam, thanks for the patch, held up better than the legs! Sorry to hold everyone up. New nuts arrived this morning, new legs might take longer !

    Does a ride like this exist on Sunday aswell? or is it only the 9.30am
  • AdamChallisAdamChallis
    Great ride all - really enjoyed it. Very nearly tipping into winter riding now - Ghent providing just enough incentive to push the pedals a bit harder.

    Hi Nat....yes, there is a 9am nasty boys ride...a bit faster than 16-17 I guess you did today, but should be tailing off for winter mileage. About the same 60-80 miles or so......sure Tristran or Carmelo can fill in details...they don't always do a stop for coffee though.....
    I think a ride like the one you did today with the midway break would be a good initiative for the Sunday rides.....pity I'm not there much now as I would be happy to navigate for these
