Sunrise ride, Sat 6th Dec, 6am... Nope.

It's going to be quite challenging on Saturday morning looking at the forecast. And, if it rains on Friday afternoon as forecast, I don't think the roads will dry. Making the road too treacherous at around zero degrees.

So, if it's dry, I'll tap out a very steady 28 miles, dressed as a right proper Michelin man, 7+ layers, getting to Ashwell to see the 8am riders via Days for coffee.

If it rains on Friday afternoon - forget about it. It'll be too risky that early on Satdy.

Going on this easy steady route.

6am Guilden
6.40am-ish Royston
7.59am Ashwell



Sunrise 7.52am

I'll post here if I abandon.

if it's dry, I'll be at 'tuns.

will check back for your status, Martin.

I've just ridden back home from the station and it's touch and go. But as such: it's simply going to be no fun in the dark tomorrow morning stressing.

I reckon you later riders will be all right. But don't quote me! Take some air out.

Sorry Matt.

I'll be doing a Full Moon Ride instead! Sat 6th Dec. 8.30pm from Guilden. 30 miles. +3 degrees. Dry roads.

Miserably with lingering cold. Darned annoying. Won't be out for a secon week on the trot.glad you will be in company tomorrow. Should be fine, if a little slippery. Take care and enjoy an amazing sun rise.

Get well soon Vince.

Just to repeat though: I'm not chancing it tomorrow morning.

Am out tomorrow evening instead. Moonrise is at 4.24pm and doesn't set til Sunday 8.15am.

35 miles.
Starting Guilden 8.30pm.
So at Odsey 8.45pm
etc

A dip down Buntingford way and - to celebrate the full moon - a swift brandy in the Moon & Stars in Rushden on the way back I think! Lunacy...

No probs Martin. After a full on day in the city with the kids, getting up earlier than needed is not appealing right now, especially at a potential sub zero.

A semi early hour on the turbo it is!

Vincent

Obviously a brain cold. Didn't read your thread obviously or I would have realised you were not riding this morning. Probably wise but I would have enjoyed the ice skating. Determined to be clear of bugs soon. Hopefully in time for Monday rollers.
