Late post this week as trying to decide on a route based on the ever changing forecast.

So let's give this ride a go:

Thought that we could go in a southerly direction and do the route that circumnavigates Stevenage.

Ashwell-Whitwell-Knebworth-Aston-Cromer-Ashwell

42 miles with loops into Bennington and around Walkern, 37 without

    Bring your snorkels and flippers!

    Sure was a day for snorkels and flippers! Think the deluge at about 8am scared everybody off as there was only five of us out today (Emma, Jenny, Dave, Alan and myself)

    Conditions can best be described as biblical, thought that we might have needed an ark at one point! Did get better in the second half of the ride though, the sun came out around knebworth which made it like riding through a tropical jungle!

    Picked up a nice tailwind on the way back, and Alan won the solo sprint down to slip end !!

    Final stats were 41 miles @ a shade under 15. Great ride, thanks all. Hope everybody else enjoyed their lie in :-)
