Maybe Woburn tomorrow as we've not headed that way yet for a festive 50?
SW wind so would be tail on the return.
Old Warden is a short journey from Henlow on the return leg.
Anybody got our usual Woburn route on their GPS device?
Just a thought - happy to go with the flow in the morning.
>10 out today to enjoy the winter sunshine out to Woburn.
Thanks to Carmello for leading - and using his encyclopaedic knowledge of the local roads.
Really enjoyed the ride and company.
Nice way to cap off a great 2015 riding with CCA.
Happy new year to all CCA riders when it finally comes!
It was a good route and great to get a sunny ride in, thanks to Carmelo for navigating.
Not sure what was going on on the way back from Henlow. Turned from a festive fifty into more of a smashfest with riders spat out the back on a regular basis... Dave, Jenny and I formed a grupetto of sorts up Langford Hill and had an enjoyable spin back into Ashwell at more of a club run pace.
The ride back to Royston wasnt pretty and I was pedaling through treacle all the way from Litlington to the A505 and back into town. A good 5 hours on the bike for me with 82 miles at 16mph.
Yes sorry about that...always a problem with different fitness levels..we tried some 'through and off' at only tempo pace but of course this can be higher for some riders..idea was to stay close together and keep ride together but we obviously failed...some riders needed to get back due to extra time etc..nevertheless in the main a beautiful morning and worth passing through the woods at Woburn ...66 miles at 16.6 avg...see you in 2016

Happy New Year to all.
That plus 3 commutes this week of 6 miles each takes me just over 300 miles for the festive period.
Happy New Year!
