Planning to join you tomorrow with Dave N. Bit short of time so we'll peel off around Gamlingay / Waresley. Meeting for coffee at Rhubarb before the ride
About 17 out today, and after some debate we decided to risk Northfields - which paid off despite an early encounter with a huge tractor and some muck on the road. Phew!
After about 10 miles we naturally split into 2 groups. I led the main group of 10 on the advertised route above, which turned out to be, er, quite quick - 41 miles @ 18.5. Thanks all, a great ride in the sun!
Cheers Tim. Logical to split when we did. Our group of 5 followed the route to Abbotsley and then made for the garden centre at Waresley. Martin and Dave went their separate ways, leaving me, Jenny and Hannah to ride back to Ashwell. We weren’t too slow either! Made it back to the Tuns about the same time as the main group. Didn’t stop for coffee as we already had pre- and mid-ride coffee (and cake - thanks Martin). Good luck in your race tomorrow Jenny. Thanks for keeping us company today.

Although of course we should get to Eyeworth via Wrestlingworth, thus avoiding Northfields Road which is obviously banned from all club rides...
Why is Northfields banned? It's a great road. Shouldn't be muddy this time of year......
