Phil, any chance we could do your classic Circuit de Bedford route (Newton Blossomville, Turvey, Thurleigh etc.), wind is from the north or thereabouts, and we could push further north/east on return to increase mileage?
Excellent. A very blue (even smurf-like) train in the making
Can't wait. Don't even care if I get rained on, it will be soooooo good to be in proper un-conditioned fresh air. (Besides which, I need to get training for the London-Surrey)
Thanks to all for a really enjoyable ride on a route that I always enjoy.
Managed to stay dry until I left Ashwell for Letchworth and pretty much rode into a torrential rain cloud in Newnham, and the little lane at Nortonbury Mill was under water. I poured water out of my shoes when I got back. But it didn't spoil the day. Still buzzing.
enjoyed that - thanks to peterG and vince for lots of work on the front
stats = ashwell to ashwell; 84miles at 19.3 or 19.4 (depending on who's computer you look at!!) and for me a split rear wheel rim!!, only noticed it when i got home :-(
Thanks all. A really good ride and very pleased to have completed it. Company was fantastic. I wish I could swallow a whole sparrow. It worked wonders on Phil.

Doing the 74 mile route with my brother-in-law who is coming over from Holland tomorrow. I am sure he will like the hills as much as I do.
(IMO, we probably couldn't have done it without Phil and the sparrow snack)

Finished with 95miles.
