  • I'll join you at the Tuns
  • i'm in- need a slightly earlier stint tomorrow to accommodate my parental duties
  • will be there at 8
  • We will ride the route anti clockwise... Ashwell. Slip End. Sandon. Buckland. Barkway etc. Easy to turn off for Roystone.
  • 5 out on the earlyish ride to Saffron. It's a good route. We led Vince out to his 4th place Strava Cup. He might have got a better time, but was unaware where the hill top was. Next time.

    Bicicletta absolutely rammed. Hardly any club riders: loads of independent groups.

    We caught sight of the CC London 2/3/4 Road Race twice. One good view was as they rocketed up to Littlebury Green. The race was in pieces - absolutely flying. Not sure many were going to finish at that pace; the bunch disintegrating. Amazing.

    And we had a surreal time helping Jess chase down a virtual me on a Strava live segment, up Steeple war memorial. Modern times.
  • And the randomness of beating a virtual @Martin Lawless by 4 seconds whilst being beaten by him in real life.... bloody strava, what happened to just going for a bike ride?
