    I'm in. The hillier the better!

    I'm keen to get some longer rides in.

    So i know what I'm letting myself in for, what is the intended medium pace? And will the route be stated beforehand so i can tag on if it passes nearby?

    As it gets into Autumn the summer carbon goes back under the bed... we wear more clobber and the speed gets a tad slower. These Saturday rides are good base rides rather than fast.
    A good team of riders. Be good to see you there Pearce and any others who are up for it.

    Robbie, if possible can you stick in the club and inter hill climbs on the route, for some practice? And to size up the competition!
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Think we can manage that...

    Ashwell. Wallington. Baldock. Weston (hill climb). Walken. Bennington. Watton at Stone. Datchworth. Old Knebworth. Codicote. Kimpton. Lilley Valley. Streatley. Sundon hil loop. Streatley. Hexton. Shillington. Langford. Ashwell.

    This is around 75m ish -
    Many turn offs for a shorter ride plus some may not want to do the Sundon loop - which is always fun!

    Liking the 8.30 Baldock...

    Not likey zero warm up before lung buster
  • skeldersskelders
    will be joining this ride... just not this week. Taking the boy to Manachester velodrome ... he is after all my retirement fund ;-)
  • PearcePearce
    I will meet you guys in Wallington and will peel off after Hexton.
  • ShaunShaun
    Mate, I'd heard you'd come off the mountain bike, but didn't realise you were so beat up. Hope you recover quickly. Take it easy, MC.
  • James DJames D
    Mark hope things improve soon. You took one hell of a hit but didnt seem too bad after since you rode back and had a recovery Guiness :)

    Whisper me your mobile no mate.
  • StefStef
    Bad luck MC, sounds a nasty one. Hope you recover quick.
    Hope to see you at pub night showing off your injuries!
  • skeldersskelders
    ouch!!

    sorry to hear that mate... when your mended I'll join you on those slower rides lugging my now unfit, over weight body around!!
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Bad news mc. Bloody badgers eh..... Night time off roading!
    Good luck with the recovery and look forward to the late autumn miles when yr back in the saddle.
  • VincentVincent
    sorry to hear your bad new old bean. Hope you mend soon. Sounds a bit serious. Hope you mend soon.
    may try to get out tomorrow morning at 8am as i am still not managing to get onto my pair of new rollers though managed 30 seconds upright a week or so ago.
    need to get ready for cyclocross events so a steady ride will be good for the legs.
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Shaping up for a good one.... sunny and fresh.
  • ShaunShaun
    8 out on a crisp, beautiful morning. 3 seemed to wimp out half way around for some reason. 5 did the Sundon loop backwards which meant we climbed the Clappers. A tricky little hill with most of the work in the second half. We also did the club hill climb on the way out. I've just about sorted my gearing for that now...
  • PearcePearce
    I'll be starting from Ashwell next time, what I thought would be a short route home from Langford actually meant I did over 90 miles, ouch!

    Cheers guys for the ride.
