Saturday 8th October - 9.30 club ride

DavidJ

Looks like its going to be a glorious early autumn day tomorrow, so lets make the most of it.

Couple of options I recon, either East to do the Essex lanes mashup before it gets to grimy in the winter

Ashwell-Buntingford-Wydial-The Pelhams-Manuden-Rickling Green-Wickham Bonhunt-Roast Green-Meesden-Ansty-Barkway-Therfield-Ashwell (47 miles)

Or North to do the Paxton loop past the windfarms

Ashwell-Wrestlingworth-Tetworth Hill-Croxton-Gt Paxton-Offord D'Arcy-Graveley-Gransden-Hatley-Shingey-Ashwell (48 miles)

Bit of a limited cafe potential on both, but for the first we could attempt Poppy's and the second we could do a bit of a route deviation to Waresley Garden centre.........

Any preferences ????

AlanT

I'm not a huge fan of Poppys, but am happy to do either route.

timA

Yeah we've not had much success there in recent attempts, but I would probably still prefer that route whilst the roads are still generally muck-free. But happy to do either.

Happy with either, see you in the morning.

DavidJ

OK let’s go with the Essex route while the roads are still good. Might have to be an old school lay-by stop then, so bring some supplies!

SimonD

Ok, see you in the morning. Been snuffling with a cold all week and haven't done any exercise except walking, so will load the route in case I fall off the back.
