Saturday 27th Feb 9.30am club ride
Last ride of winter (spring officially starts on March 1st) with a warning of a 'beast from the east' from the BBC weather..........hmmmmmmm
So, lets head out in an easterly direction & hopefully get blown back to Ashwell. How about a reverse of the mini-egg route

So it was uphill into a headwind all the way to Chishill then a rolling route to Newport (the posh one, not the one in S Wales!). Amazingly though as predicted, it was a glorious tailwind all the way back from there with the road from Hare Street to Buntingford being the highlight of the route.
Quick return through Sandon to pay homage to the sadly deceased goose (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-35674882) before a wind up back to Ashwell via Slip end.
So 43 miles at a shade under 16. Oh and the 'beast from the east' was more of a 'friendly puppy from the North Sea' !!
Thanks all for a fun morning. 1st ride of Spring next week
