Fine spring day for a ride out to the hills at Chrishall and beyond,
Sandon, Buckland, Barkway, Barley, Chrishall, Elmdon, Ickleton to Duxford,
then the flat back via Whittlesford, Newton, Thriplow, Fowlmere, Shepreth, Bassingbourne, Abbingdon Piggots, Steeple & home.
All very civilised out through the hills and pacey back on the flat.
All the crew pulling their weight - poetry in motion,
Only thing to mar a good morning was the Captain losing his legs and drifting back on the tide to Ashwell and Main Mariner FD missing with back issues.
Does first back to port constitute a win for C P ?
Crew of 11 on the Pig, 46.5 miles @ 16.6, bring on the summer.
Comments
Should be there, if I remember to arrange the night watch.
Seas are set calm, warm conditions ideal for a voyage. Mountainous seas to be endured, not enjoyed.
A necessary evil, to get fit for the hilly rides in June.

Hope the crew will assist in hauling me over them,
See you at 9.30
Just need to survive the first bit
With help as always

Might be time to break out the carbon....to offset the winter pounds gained.
Don't forget to set your time pieces 1 hour forward.

Best weekend of the year and zero miles. Very unhappy.

Thanks for a good ride today. By the time I got back the average was closer to 18mph and good to be back on the bike after a lay-off.
Enjoyed refreshments at the Maynard's afterwards - would be good to see everyone who can make it there next time.
