Middle group ride - Sat 7th Nov, 8.30am, Ashwell Garage

Martin L

I can make this Saturday for a middle group ride [maybe around 17-18mph av]. Can I suggest a straightforward Grafham Water ride? 63 miles. All in, should be under 4hrs - and I could do with getting back to Ashwell by 12.30pm. I know this scenic route;

Optional quick coffee stop at Grafham Water cafe if time/wish/cold.

Other things on the new Saturday middle ride; I will update the main website to ensure no confusion with current Saturday club run. Also, we need to be careful meeting at the garage on Saturdays - as they're open that day. We should have a polite chat with the owner.

Not going to be able to make this Saturdays ride. Things to do and a rugby match to watch. Have a good one.

Weather report. We could be lucky and dodge a band of rain.

Chris, Phil and Robbie escaped the down pour but a hard ride with a strong head wind for most of the way.
A roundabout route via Thriplow then onto Barley. Stretch down to Slip End 505 we were hitting 30mph hardly touching the pedals.
Derserve a big lunch.
