Saturday 1st July - 9.30am club ride - Blue Egg Cafe
Change of plan for tomorrow, so instead of the 5 counties we are going to do a spin to the Blue Egg.
Out via Buntingford/Newport/Debden, following the classic route there. Might do a slightly different return via Finchinfield and Great Sampford, S Walden (I'll have to map it and see how many miles it adds). Should be 70ish miles will be back in Ashwell sometime mid-afternoon.
Looking forward to the excellent cake already

Out via the classic Buntingford, Clavering, Debden, Thaxted route to the cafe that never disappoints. Sausage roll & coke seemed to be the fuel of choice, but I wisely went for a house brick sized choc, hazelnut and fig cake - awesome
Post Blue egg fuelling, it was into the unknown and after some Garmin deliberation in Finchingfield it was on to a lovely quiet road to Hellions Bumsted, Castle Camps and into Saffron Walden via Ashton. I would say it was down to Saffron Walden, but I seem to have inadvertently designed a route back that was basically uphill all the way from the Blue Egg to Therfield - whoops !!
So 77 miles at 16.5 I think, although didn't actually make it back to Ashwell as the lure of the Fox and Duck beer garden in Therfield was too much to refuse Mind you, still managed to make it 101 miles in the end !
Thanks all for a great day out. Think we might have found the classic blue egg route !
