Going to be glorious weather tomorrow, I might even have to dump the smurf legs and crack out the shorts !

How about we do a reverse sort of mini egg, with a stop in the cake stop at Clavering lakes ??

So how about Ashwell-Therfield-Royston-Barley-Chishill-Wendens Ambo-Newport-Clavering-***cake stop***-Great Hornmead-Buntingford-Wydial-Sandon-Ashwell

Garmin connect is refusing to work at the mo, but I recon it's just shy of 50 miles. I'll map it later & post up the route.

See you in the morning!

Well Garmin connect is still refusing to work so here is a mapmyride version

Not a bad guess too, 50 miles bang on. Almost like I've done this before

Oh and Nat, you wiped out is still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the rest of us !!

Good turnout this morning for a spin out into Essex and back. 12 of us set off for what was a bit of a killer hilly start even by my standards. Maybe going up the hill to Therfield all the way down to Royston then all the way up, up, up to Gt Chishill wasn't the most optimal way to avoid the Reed road closure

All regrouped at the highest point of Cambs and from there on it was pretty much downhill all the way to the excellent cafe spot at Clavering lakes. Sufficiently replenished with coffee and cake we split into two groups for the return & Tim and Taff turned on the afterburners for quite possibly the fastest return from Clavering that we have ever done.

All finished off with a wind up down slip end as we all tried to chase down Gary. No idea what he is eating for brekkie these days, possibly some sort of nuclear fuel !!!

So a very lumpy 50 miles @ a shade over 16 in some glorious summer weather. Thanks all for an excellent morning

Great ride back from the cafe today. 15.1 Mph Average to the cafe, then it was 18.8 Mph Average from Cafe to Ashwell. I think SpaceX need to launch their rockets with Garys Eggs and Bacon.
