    Given the strong wind from the north, how about a variation on the Grafham ride - to include Old Warden, Cardington and later a little scenic wiggle to Waresley - making it 72 miles, with a very similar ascent total as the Lilley run?

    Those wanting to making it more like 60 could break off at Waresley-Gamlingay-Potton-Dunton-Hinxworth.

    Would recommend a quick coffee stop at Grafham, given the temperature? So ETA at Ashwell would be just before 1pm.

    Sound OK?

    All bets off eh if it's snowy roads or ice.

    Sounds perfect. With a few through and offs on the long straights!
  • skeldersskelders
    i'll b there :-)
  • Martin LMartin L
    For those wanting an even shorter version - break off point at Blunham - for Tempsford, Potton, then Dunton or Wrestlingworth - would make it a 'Two Bridges' run, 40 milesish.

    Something for everyone!

    For safety. We shouldn't ride. It's minus 3 and roads all have a layer of snow - icing over. Gutted.
    Need Geoff to book the school for a huge turbo session tomorrow!

    Hi Guys,
    I looked out the window and it was quite white but I decided to come out ready and wait in the cemetery anyway. Guess what I was the only one there. Waited until 8.45 and have decided to go out for a ride on my own.

    Dam weather!
