Might be back to the 60m hilly route if we can avoid the snow and enjoy the sun.

    As there doesn't seem to be any other saturday groups out, I was thinking of going for a bit of your ride and then falling off the back to do some slower riding on my own. Would that be ok?
  • geoffggeoffg
    there is the normal saturday group leaving at 9.30 from 37 silver street...........
  • RGGRGG
    Ok thanks, I'll do that one then.
  • kevinkevin
    So there's a Sunday club run starting at 09:30, a Sunday 'Nasty' albeit a steady nasty starting at 09:00, a Saturday middle at 09:30 and not I think (hope) 08:30 as in title of thread.
    Dependent on weather I'll be at 37 at 09:30 Sat or Cem at 09:00 Sun.

    Cheers

    kevin.the sat.middle is usually at 8.30 ...not a typo..... and does about 60 miles

    the 9.30 Sat. is a mixed group of different levels and sometimes splits into a shorter and longer ride..speed varies according to those on the ride....probably averages 15mph

    Hi Robbie

    I fancy the Saturday run. Where do you meet?
  • Martin LMartin L
    Club ride details? Seems all well explained on the club website;
    http://www.ccashwell.com/club-runs.html

    Robbie - yep - up for it. It'd be good to catch up with Adam too. We meet at the cemetery car park now, next to the Ashwell garage we used to meet at. Literally a stone's throw.
    Currently without a decent rear wheel [getting sorted at Trisprouts] but will either get by with knackered old one or find a kindly soul to lend.

    Fancy mixing the classic route up a little bit? I could have a look.
  • Adam HAdam H
    Smashing - I know where you mean.

    Good luck with the wheel repair, Martin. See you Sat.

    Mart. I've got a 9 speed Shimano Ultegra 12 -25 you can borrow. Txt if you need it.

    I'll be comming allong, though would be interested in knowing the rough route to see if I can break off at the end (not been on the bike for a few week) probably drive over if not.

    Hiya Sam

    This is the basic ride I know Robbie has in mind;
    http://bit.ly/6nGXIN
    Going clockwise.

    We've done it before where some have broken off at Whitwell, to Wymondley and then on.
    Poor weather forecast again - so don't think any of us out to break any records... All about keeping the legs turning. I don't think you'll have any problems!
    On the flipside, if it's OK, I fancy a diversion to the edge of Luton airport landing strip for a Wayne's World moment.

    Thanks Geoff

    I'll attempt the 08:30 Saturday then, so I'll probably drive over, is there ample parking close to 37 ?
  • kevinkevin
    Ha ah, just looked at the route so I'll probably pick you up at Baldock at the lights or next roundabout.
  • Adam HAdam H
    It's looking cloudy, but neither very cold nor windy.
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    kevin. maybe you ride backwards on the route towards Wallington then we can't miss you.

    See you in the morning chaps.
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Another good slog of a hilly ride for the 8 of us. Nice one chaps.
  • Martin LMartin L
    Tough going but top fun - the standard was high! Me, Robbie, Sam, Malcolm, Chris, Kevin, Adam and Jon S. 1 puncture, 2 mudguard malfunctions. A shade under 17mph.
  • Adam HAdam H
    Good ride, lads.

    Sorry about the exploding mudguard, and thanks to Sam for the workaround.
