Anybody fancy a club ride to Grafham Water on Saturday? Forecast is a tad cooler and staying dry
More to the point, does anyone know the best route, including a cafe stop? It's 18 miles as the crow flies, so I'm guessing it'd be a 50 mile round trip?
Comments
It can't be done under 60 I don't think. This is 62. You can clip a bit off by heading for Great Staughton when near Grafham.
The ideal cafe stop has to be the one at Grafham Water itself, in Perry.
Have fun!
Shaun
We have a route map and 2 riders, including a cafe-friendly navigator. Who else is coming out to play? ... Martin?
Hmmmmmm, decisions decisions..

Not sure if I'll be able to make an early start, but could join you on route if you stick to the standard route, as it goes near my home.
Vic
And Shaun, are you happy with the Bikemap route (posted above by Martin) at least for the 1st 11miles, so Vic can join en route? (Or if you have a preferred route already mapped, pls could you send me a link or email it to jane.wilsonBVSc@tiscali.co.uk and I'll download to Garmin)
Thx J
Rich
Many thanks,
Pete.
Have a good ride.
Tom
Jane, we can follow the route out that Martin posted above.
Vic, I'll assume you'll meet us in Potton for 9.30am? (Hatley Rd junction is at mile 9).
Peter, it'll be at a pace suitable for whoever is out.
Are you heading through Everton 1st (clockwise route) or through the Grandsden's (anticlockwise)?
See you at the 3Ts
Taking an intro mtb ride in the morning now.
Enjoy!!
Dave - Grafham Water, we might see some ducks :o)

Some serious refuelling went on at the cafe, plus a bit of duck-spotting, before setting off for Buckden and a bike-handling test of an underpass, which I regret to say, I failed!
1 puncture (I think) and 1 bent rear derailleur, which happened miraculously close to the bike shop at Grafham Water, so we were roadworthy again very quickly. I logged 66 miles at 16.9mph
Thanks everyone for another great ride
Is it just me or does anybody else have sunburnt arms and knees from the three tuns patio tanning salon :)

P.s. Tom D says thanks fr the route too
