Guilden Morden village hall 7.45am To Saffron Walden for coffee at Bicicletta. Route TBC, but will go there via Barkway Golf Club as Vince wants a Strava Cup there. It'll be around 50 miles. Club run pace. All welcome.
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?
