  • Martin - I’m afraid I’m going to have to pull out. I dislocated my shoulder again skiing and I just haven’t been able to ride the bike for the last month. I’m hoping to be back on the bike this week but no way I can start with a 100 miler. Have a great time and really sorry to miss it.
  • Ouch. Bad luck Rob. Hopefully will see you on a Wednesday TT in the Spring, if not before. Get well soon.
  • Thanks Martin

  • The forecast couldn't be better this Friday. Definitely shorts and summer bike weather. Can't wait for this!
  • Cool badges Martin. I'm really looking forward to this too!
  • Cheers! Note the sunshine on the badge. One for everyone who gets as far as the Maglia Rosso. Collector's items!

    Our food order has gone off to Maglia Rosso. They look forward to our visit. If you want to add or amend your lunch order: do it on the day.

    Bring lights for the evening ride bit.

    We have to change the third cafe to the Costa in Saffron in the nice, open Market Square, as Bicicletta is only open til 4pm. Costa is open until 5pm and we should comfortably get there just fine if we leave Maglia Rosso 2.30-2.45pm.
    Costa Coffee, 7 Market St, Saffron Walden CB10 1HR

    We leave from Ashwell Three Tuns, 8.30am.

    I plan to post a live GPS link on this forum thread, until Maglia Rosso - so JMac can track us. But it will also help anyone joining us mid ride.

    thanks

  • Have fun all, I was planning to ride this but unfortunately I ended up with a clash and am attending a christening in Scotland.
  • Two words: tailwind home.
  • edited March 2022
    Did 70 miles yesterday with the "senior" members of the club, so feel more comfortable with doing this tomorrow. I'll meet up with you in Buckland at the junction for Nuthampstead, and figure you'll pass through at 9.00am as it's 9 miles into the ride.
    I'll put a food order through to Maglia Rosso.

    The sunny weather and tailwind had no bearing on me changing my decision to rejoin this ride......honestly😆

    Paul... Great! Some I think have been worried about the distance, but at a very steady average speed and lots of drafting to be had at the back - and tailwind home... We'll be all right.

    Meeting us up... A reminder: in the morning, I'll post a link on this thread that will give a real-time GPS location of where we are. Just click on the link and you'll see a dot slowly moving across a map at around 14-15mph.
