Saturday 25th July 9.30am 'way past sunrise' club ride
For those of us who like the sun to be slightly further away from the horizon than MartinL, how about we have another crack
at the Haynes/Ampthill/Stewartby ride we tried out for the first time a month or so ago:

Mid ride stop was greeted by maybe a first for an club ride, with an ice cream van joining in the layby we had stopped in. Wasn't quite warm enough for anybody to partake of his wares though (sorry Toni) although we might have been tempted if he had put his music on
Post Stewartby we picked up a nice tailwind and added a slight deviation to the route to come back through old warden/langford & managed to go up Langford hill quicker than we went down it. Finished off with a final sprint through Hinxworth where Nat just piped me on the line (by about 20 yards !!)
Thanks all for a great morning, really enjoyed that. Good to see some new faces out on the ride too. Stats were 50 miles @ a shade over 17.
Sorry, I couldn't join,spending too much time in Abergavenny!
Maybe next week?
Also I expect many of us actually rode more miles today than they did in the Tour, although admittedly on slightly flatter roads!
Hope you enjoyed the sprint to Ashwell. I have been welcomed so nicely into the club and met some awesome people! See you all soon :)
