Family visiting duties for me tomorrow, so I won't be out in the morning.

If somebody could volunteer to navigate a route that would be great. Thanks. As a suggestion how about 'route A' that we didn't do last week?

Thanks Pete for leading a great ride, beautiful morning for it. Lets hope the same can be said for tomorrow's riders!

Group of 10 out today. After tackling Sharpenhoe last week (and given there were no mountain goats out) we kept it flat. Followed parts of route A (but not really).

Hinxworth, Gamlingay, Bourn, Eversdens, Haslingfiled (no Chapel Hill - to the disappointment of some), Newton, Fowlmere, Shepreth, Bassingbourn, Ashwell.

Went the wrong way round considering the wind (should have stuck to the more North - South route A!) but we were all up for the challenge of a strong headwind from Bassingbourn to Ashwell.

43 miles @ 17 mph. Kept it pretty tidy and only one puncture after the overnight rain.

Sprint won by the visiting pirate (of course!). Thanks all for a good ride. Good luck to Ride Londoners for tomorrow.

Not out next week
Cheers
Peter

Good fun out with the sat crew
Pleasant surprise nice flat route
Polite offer of the sprint taken
It would be rude not too !

Avoiding the Sunday down pour also a good idea
Thanks for the ride
