Well if I do say so myself, today's route was a triumph for a windy day !
Not sure if it was forward or reverse, but route was Ashwell, slip end, Walkern, Bennington, Watton, knebworth, codicote, Whitwell, Balcock and Ashwell. Tough on the way out in parts, but luckily it was mainly downhill in the headwind, before we turned the corner at Watton and did the gradual climb back up to Ashwell with some lovely wind assistance.
Highlights had to be the blast up and down Whitwell hill and the tailwind fuelled charge up the Bgrave road to Ashwell. Nobody was going to catch Simon and Taff on a early charge, but Emma did a pretty impressive attempt. Shoulder might be duff, but the legs are still there !
