More spring riding tomorrow, light winds and maybe a bit of sunshine - lovely :)

So how about something a bit more rolling than last week: Ashwell-Barkway-Nuthamsted-Meesden-Lower Langley Green-Littlebury Green-Arkesden-Clavering-Gt Hornmead-Buntingford-Sandon-Ashwell (45 miles)

Also the option to go from Gt Hornmead to Lincoln Hill then back into Buntingford via Wydial, but this adds about an extra 4 miles so we shall see how we are going when we get there......

See you in the morning

    Well looks like Sunday was the new Saturday this week.

    After last week's bumper turnout, only 6 of us yesterday. Contrary to my forecast on Friday it was neither sunny or light winds, with pretty much wall to wall black clouds and a headwind for about 40 miles!

    All set off for the above route, and 6 became 5 at Nuthampsted where Mark left us and 4 at Dudenhoe end where DaveA peeled off. The remaining 4 valiantly battled against the wind through Clavering and onto Buntingford and Sandon where 4 became 2 as Nathan and Tim headed back to Royston. So just out of principle myself and Gary fought our way back to Ashwell to complete the ride.

    So 45 miles @ 16.5 & the conclusion that to improve my winter bike it needs a) carbon forks b) a carbon frame c) a carbon seat post and d)carbon wheels :)

    Thanks all for a character building morning !!
