Not the most promising of cycling forecast for tomorrow, sunny but bloomin' freezing.

So, how about a later 10.30am start, and shorter ride so we don't loose extremities to frostbite :)

Couple of loops around Potton should do it

Ashwell, Guilden, Wrestlingworth, Cockayne Hately, Potton, back of Gamlingay, Waresly, Gransden, Gamlingay, Potton, Eyeworth, Dunton, Edworth, Ashwell

Lets all do an ice check at 9ish and decide if its go or no go

Layer up, hopefully see you in the morning.......

    My thoughts exactly :-)

    Gransden is about half way round. How about coffee and cake at my house?
  • DavidJDavidJ
    Sounds like a great idea !
  • NunnsterNunnster
    Good idea David. Will check in in the morrow.

    Oh no, we're away in Norfolk for the weekend so won't be out. Sorry to be missing cake at Tom's! Never mind, I'm sure Norfolk will be toasty...

    Above freezing here at 9am, so should be fine to go at 10.30

    See you then - wrap up warm :)
  • NunnsterNunnster
    Puddles have ice on them here in Wallington so let's take it easy. See you at 10.30.

    Cheers Chaps for a good ride.
    Perfect pacing by Tim and Taff to Toms. Top refreshment stop.
    Nice run in back through Hinxworth for those who didn't have too much cake to contest the sprint

    Excellent spin out yesterday morning. Think the 10.30 start worked well as pretty much all of the frost and ice had gone by then. Mind you the predicted sunshine was in short supply, even think it was gently sleeting at one point.

    Sort of followed the route above, with a meandering route to Gransden & some superb coffee and cake at Tom's.

    Sufficiently warmed & fuelled we took another meandering route back to Ashwell with a winterised sprint along the Hinxworth road.

    All good stuff & 32 winter miles @ 16.5

    Thanks all for a fun morning

    Oh and if anybody would like some bargain castelli kit (like the awesomely warm new winter jacket I was wearing yesterday) you can find it here :)
