Out as well, although doing the Peterborough Reliability Ride on Sunday so may not do the full miles.
See you at 8 with the right bike and the right tyres hopefully.
1 = **NEW** The Cog at Tring followed by Toms Hill at Aldbury = currently 87 miles 2 = Blue Egg and back = 70 miles 3a = Quick Grafham = 61 miles 3b = Long Grafham = 70'ish miles 4 = Harold/Odell Country Park route = 76 miles 5 = NEWISH = Ringstead (NICE TEAROOM)/ Raunds = 80miles 6 = Cambs, Beds, Herts (Emilys at 47miles ) loop anticlockwise = 76 miles 7 = Ramsey 105 miles.....flat......clockwise 8 = something else = some miles 9 = Off Road 10 = pub
my preference is number 6.....which keeps us closer to Ashwell for those who may want to do a reduced ride....

I'm no longer able to ride. Kid duties unfortunately.
Will try and get out pm and Sunday instead. Darn shame. Darn shame. Hope to make a Saturday ride soon.
Right now it is all about getting any riding in.
Have a good ride.
Not just Phil, everyone at the front looked in shape. Only joined the 8am cca train at Whitwell and all I could do was hang on :-) Anyway, thanks all for the rhythm and the ride.
Enjoyed the first 45 miles, and then started to feel a little under the weather having caught daughters cold. Verdict on the chain jumping was that the Chain and Top chain ring heavily worn, and chain not actually engaging properly on the chain ring. Was getting a touch frustrating when under load on the hills.
Thanks the pull Phil and the route, and thank you for coming back to enquire if all was ok.

Good to see you.
