Saturday 6th August 9.30am club ride

Had a bit of a test spin yesterday and my leg didn't fall off, so I should be (fingers crossed) ok for at least some of the club ride tomorrow.

Thought that we could try some of the roads that we did on the 5 peaks out towards Hitchin as a change, so something like this

http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1129556551

Ashwell, Baldock, Willian, Whitwell, Kimpton, Peters Green, Lilly, Hexton, Shillington, Mepershall, Clifton, Langford, Ashwell (47 miles)

Just to save my knee a bit, I'll won't come to Ashwell at the start but meet you on the Bygrave road as you come past my house.

See you in the morning, looks like its going to be a cracking summer day :)

    ****Might not be out now - bike issues! Depends if I can find the willpower in the morning to sort.
  • Glad to hear you'll be back out David.

    I'm under a bit of time pressure tomorrow so don't think I can do the whole route, will probably need to peel off somewhere.

    11 of us out this morning on probably the nicest Saturday morning weather of the whole summer. Plan to meet up in Bygrave worked seamlessly & we joined the blue train as it steamed through baldock and up to Whitwell. A bit of a lengthy mechanical stop meant the we abridged the above route and 'put the hammer down' for a run in via Hexton, mepershall and Clifton.

    TomH and Nathan were on fire up Langford hill, not sure I've ever been up there so quickly ! The flying Nathan continued with his 'sprint leadout' down the hinxworth road but it was so rapid that it just broke all of us except our flying lady TT specialist who took the win at the sign - on her rest day !

    So 42 miles@ a shade over 17 followed by a well deserved recovery beverage in the Tuns garden. Thanks all for a great morning, really enjoyed that & amazingly my leg didn't drop off half way round :)
