OK, two options again for tomorrow - most votes on the day wins !

So either the reverse of this route up to the mast and back at Littlebury Green (Ashwell-buntingford-Askensden-Barkway-Ashwell)

or as we haven't done it for ages (and there is probably a good reason for it !) then we can do the Baldock M/W route (basically hill reps up every hill I could find in the Royston/Sandon area)

See you in the morning

    Wow I'm totally up for that second one David, looks awesome. Either is ok with me though, see you tomorrow.

    Since the hills were taken out of last weekend, surprisingly I would have to go for route 2 as well.
    You will just have to wait at the top for me.

    Do postal votes count?

    Hoping you can save the hilly one for next week.
    Just done the Hadrain Cycleway. Some pretty tough climbs on that!
    Have a good ride!

    Out-voted 9 to 1 on the choice of route this morning, but in the end I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and certainly needed the hill training.

    Thanks David for a good workout!

    Yes surprisingly the vote went for the silly hill climb route!

    3 observations from this morning:

    1. The last hill of the M section down from Sandon to the A505 is much longer than I remember
    2. Will has the loudest freewheel I've ever heard
    3. JMacs breakfast porridge needs to be tested by the UCI. (is it actually rocket fuel??)

    Great ride & enjoyed the reps, although was at a distinct disadvantage on the downhill sections. Clearly more pies required :)

    Thanks all for a good morning - will def have to do a repeat of this in the next few months!

    good stuff.. discovered when i got home that the pain in my upper torso was not in fact a heart attack induce by the ludicrous hill rebs but a wasp that had got inside my top and was repeatedly stinging me!
