Should be downhill into the wind and uphill with a following breeze
See you in the morning

Did the route above, which was mostly dry except for a massive flood near Datchworth, where some 'gentleman' in a 4x4 kindly decided to drive through the opposite way at speed to soak us all.
Still, we soon dried in the sunshine & after a quick stop to assess the looming black clouds wizzed through westmill and came back via Buntingford/Therfield and into Ashwell via Station road. Then in a probably never to be repeated feat, I actually won the sprint to the village sign !!!
So, 46 miles at a shade under 17 & a big thanks to Tim and PaulH for their almost continual turns on the front (and PaulH for the sprint leadout)
We managed some refreshments in the Tuns garden in the sunshine & I even got back just as the heavens started to open
Thanks all for a great morning & good luck to the Ride Londoners next week !
