Won't be out, giving the Flying Dutchwoman a well-deserved rest on Mother's Day.
Pleased to see that this ride is named after Mother Dutchwoman - MD
Instead, hill interval training up and down the stairs supplying the Flying Dutchwoman with cups of tea and breakfast in bed.
Followed by heat acclimatisation training in front of the stove, cooking a roast dinner.
Finally, individual time 'trial', having my patience 'tested', against the clock. Timekeeper: Flying Dutchwoman.
Given the weather forecast is for a wet, cold windy morning, much better to have a family day at home!
Frying, frantic, fetching Dutchman
Sounds like will be hot and flustered where you are
Multi tasking not your thing
Stick to what you are good at
Put your feet up, drink and let others do the work :-)
Forecast is a moving feast for Sunday am
Check again tomorrow

Will post early tomorrow , if half ok will ride

Lovely pm today, but rugby called
Wales won, come on England !
Yep. Indeed it was lovely this afternoon. Bright sunshine, dry conditions and quiet country lanes. Lunatic car drivers presumably on their sofas watching oval ball antics.
Another linear ride to take advantage of the NE wind and ride along the rolling countryside at the edge of the Chilterns before they sweep down to the Fens.
Shepreth, Thriplow, Newton, Duxford, Ickleton, Elmdon, Heydon, Gt Chishill, Barkway, Buckland, Sandon, Cumberlow Green, Luffenhall, Halls Green, Graveley, Hitchin. 40 miles @ 16mph, 2000ft of climbing.
Just about worked off the Turkish Delight meal and Effes beer from last night.
Fly half Dutchman
Weather looks better again with North easterly wind
So going for it
Will make a flatish route, heading east
Back on the winter bike
Blow away the cobwebs after Turkish delight
Maybe an elite crew, but feel free to come along

Kept dry, but north easterly made for a reasonable work out
Hope spring returns soon !

Perambulating Dutchman
Looking forward to Sat

Still lots of pies in the fridge to keep me going

Additionally, all the pubs in the centre of Weston and Sandon pubs have closed and been sold off, only 1 left in Therfield and none in Kelshall! A drinker's desert in fact.
