  • Another great CCA day out to the seaside, as others have said, a massive thanks to Martin for organising.

    True to form, me and my Garmin managed to separate a small group from the main peleton!
    Highlight, was somehow navigating back to meet the group.

    Next year in the diary.
  • An epic ride, excellent day, especially now as my legs have recovered! Thanks for organising Martin and thanks to those who towed me the last 10k into KL
  • Thanks to martinsbadges.co.uk

    Great day out, and as always great people to ride with, topped off with an a apres ride sesh afterwards.
    Good idea for a similar ride at the end of April/early May to get slackers like me on the bike earlier in the season.
  • Let me echo all of the above remarks. Many thanks to Martin for a great day. I found the malted recovery drink worked very well. I wasn't dehydrated at all on Saturday. I guess it is just a matter of having the right number of pints at KL and again at the Three Tuns.

    What about Ashwell (Herts) to Ashwell (Rutland) and back, as a season opener? Has anyone done this? I know it was discussed a while ago. Is it about 65- 70 miles each way? Is that a bit too long for that time of year?
  • That Ashwell village is a bit of a dump and has a prison for good measure. Went there out of curiosity. Wouldn't want to go there again. Good countryside though.
    Glad everyone had such a good club ride. Write-ups great and such a large number. Well done all, especially the hard men of the return ride.
  • Thanks for all the kind words. Lots learned to make next year's Classic even better too. Note: if the Paris-Nice trip goes ahead, 2015 date will probably change to a little later.

    I've thrown together the video clips I made along the way. It's not exactly snappy - but captures the vibe pretty well[s].

    cheers

  • Good to see so many CCA riders keeping it nice and tidy on the lanes!
  • Once again, well done Martin - good choice of sound track too..!
