Going to be pretty freezing all morning tomorrow, with a NW wind.

So, thinking gritted/sheltered roads how about heading over Hitchin way

Ashwell-Clifton-Mepershal-Shillington-Hexton-Lilley-Whitwell-Baldock-Ashwell (40 miles)

Found the overshoes last week, but think might have to up it a level with the merino base layer :)

See you in the morning !

    Hello Tim! And other CCAers...

    Sorry I didn’t spin round and join in, I was on my way to meet Neil Murphy who was out on the bike for the first time in 18 months!

    Also saw Mitchy (riding for contour still, loving the grass track and running out of room in his thighs to keep all that muscle), Luke Danckert (riding for the army still and joining up with BRCC for his time off, works better for him with work/family commitments but I’m sure we’ll still see him at a few club events), Adam Swan (continues to love cycling, looking lean and displaying a fine pair of mudguards with matching CCA flaps) and Ant Morris who’s getting back into riding a bit after a year off the bike.

    Chilly but fun! Good to be out again. I’ll try and pop my head in over the next few weeks at some point!

    Great turnout today on a right chilly morning. Bit frosty first thing, but roads were all fine so we cracked on with the route above. Pretty perfect winter route this, bit of a flat start, a couple of tasty climbs in the middle and then a nice run in back to the village.

    Sterling work on the front most of the way round from the super-fit DaveN and Gary. Clearly retirement is the way forward to get super speedy on the bike :) Great riding from the two young chaps Ben and John too, esp John who has only been riding a road bike for about a month !

    Seems like you saw a who's who of CCA cyclists on your ride out today Will ! Looking very speedy on the way up Whitwell hill too :)

    So 41 miles @ 16. Thanks all for an excellent morning, more of the same next week & hopefully a couple of degrees warmer !!
