Thanks everybody for a great ride. Lunch was silly but did produce the quote of the day from Simon.
I now cannot get "smell my cheese" out of my head...
Thank you all. Enjoyed the ride. Another new experience for me. Hope to post some of the video later. Camera battery lasted longer than mine, but ran out so Ardeley will remain a legend.
Unanimous opinion is that the folks on the ride really enjoy the mix of road and CX.
Amazed we only had one puncture.
We need more than one person to load the route onto Garmin/GPS devices next time.
Im keen to do this again when Summer arrives without the cafe stop though.

many thanks to all those that made a very enjoyable ride happen.
I'm also astonished that none of the five spare tubes I took with me were needed, although having made sure we tackled the Ardley (?) 'Trench' on the way back I suspect I'll be scraping mud out of my brakes and frame for a long while to come.
I'm hoping to organise a similar sort of route for the "Hell of St Neots" ride which is looking like being Sunday 1st May this year (instead of the usual Paris-Roubaix day) - everyone welcome and as requested I'll get details on here in due course......
