I've had an idea... We really should go from London to the brilliant micro brewery in Letchworth... Garden City Brewery afterwards. Much more us.

It's a great place. And then we get a curry in Letchworth after? I've no idea where's good.
Sign up to the Doodle if you want to eat in the evening.

Peace of mind: I'd like to book Dine Bangla in Baldock this week. So any more for the curry, 9pm, add your name to t'Doodle. We can always add last minute/on the day - but want to just make sure we are more or less sorted.

Looks like we have a fair crowd turning up, not least a sizeable festive group in the evening at the City Brewery. I look forward to seeing you there.
In the meantime, I'll be at the start of the fun in LMNH, 1.30pm.
If the weather holds and my workload allows, I may well ride in to London on that morning, after the rush hour, to Lea Valley velopark, take in a few spins of the road circuit [for just £4!]. Then tootle along the Regents Canal towpath to LMNH for lunch. I'd dump my bike in my London office or chain it at the station and pick it up next day. No bikes on trains out of London before 7pm y'see. Anyway. Just a thought right now. Might be a bit nuts. Maybe you fancy.

But not riding Boris Bikes on the night ...

If any of the six remaining cyclists in the entire Eastern region not going to Thetford fancy, I'll be riding to the Lea Valley Velopark (about 45 miles) for a few mid morning laps of the road circuit. I expect we'd have the whole thing to ourselves. For just £4 each! Then tootle along the Regent's canal to securely park my bike very near King's Cross, to pick up the next day. King's Cross to LMNH is a simple 10 minute boris bike away, in good time for lunch.
Or come along for the morning and ride back or get the train back from King's Cross.
7.30am leaving Guilden, looking to miss the London rush hour.
7.45am passing Ashwell
8.10am passing Moon & Stars car park, Rushden. Meeting Matt S.
8.20am passing Cromer. Good point to meet any Letchworth/Baldock riders.
10.30-11am Velopark
Forecast for now is fine, considering.
Had a good morning on the bike too, once my hands had thawed out around Cuffley. It was effortless to get on to the road circuit track at the Velopark. Cafe, free lockers, it's got it all.
Maybe we'll do a Springtime return to the Letchworth Garden Brewery? Any other social ideas for the Club in 2017 are welcome.
