Hurrah, at last a Saturday morning forecast without a howling westerly !!

Clearly we need to take fully advantage of this. So how about we go East & do a slightly longer route with a mid ride coffee stop at the excellent Clavering Lakes. I'll see if its possible to get a slice of cake bigger than the ginormous one I had last time

Nine out yesterday morning for the spin to Saffron Walden & back. Remarkably the forecast was right and there was indeed warm with no wind

As normal, sort of followed the route above & stopped mid ride for some excellent toffe sponge cake at Clavering Lakes And in answer to the important question on cake slice size, not as large as last time but still and excellent slab !

So suitably fuelled we pressed on through a super busy Saffron Walden & back via Great Chishill all towed along by Nathan with giant Ian Stanard esc turn on the front. Then it was down from Therfield and a wind up down station road, once we eventually managed to cross the extremly busy 505. Maybe everybody had evacuated Saffron Walden ???

So 57 miles @ 17 - (not sure where the extra 3 miles came from)

Thanks all for an excellent Sat BH morning!
