Wow, if the forecast is to be believed it's going to be a cracking day tomorrow !

Easterly wind, so couple of options:

1. Head Cambridge way for a flat'n'fast one: Ashwell-Barrington-Barton-Madingley-Dry Draton-Gransden-Croyden-Ashwell (48ish miles)

2. Head east first so get a tailwind back, so could do miniegg in reverse: Ashwell-Therfield-Great Chishill-L'bury Green-Newport-Clavering-Hare St-Buntingford-Sandon-Ashwell (44 miles)

See you in the morning - don't forget the sunnies :)

    Bumper turnout today in some glorious spring sunshine. Went for option 1 which was indeed flat and also fairly fast !

    So out to Bassingbourn, and after negotiating the most shocking road in the world at Barrington, headed north to skirt around the edge of Cambridge and back via Longstowe & Gamlingay. Must have been a tasty tailwind at this point as it was full gas all the way back to Ashwell. Final throw was a blast down loves lane & a 4 way sprint for the sign, somewhere way in the distance from where I was.

    So 48 miles @ 17.2, two punctures, a slipping carbon seat post & some random chin injury :). Great morning, thanks all.

    P.s. Might have to think about two groups if we get anymore on the ride, so any volunteers to navigate a second group??

    Just a quick cheers for letting me ride with you guys. I did struggle for the last few miles but enjoyed it all the same.

    Thanks for the help, see you soon!
