Chilly again tomorrow, so another day for the winter woolies. Only a 4mph wind forecast though, which is pretty unusual for around here !!

Two options for tomorrow, either south with a coffee stop in Spokes Codicote:

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/27918677

Ashwell-Buntingford-Westmill-Dane End-Saccome-Stapleford-Woolmer Green-Codicote-St Ipps-Willian-Baldock-Ashwell (50 miles)

or for something a bit shorter, East(ish) for a hilly start and flat finish

Ashwell-Therfield-Reed-Barkway-Nuthamstead-Ansty-Measden-Langley-Dudenhoe End-Elmdon-Shepreth-Meldreth-Bassingbourn-Ashwell (41 miles)

Something a bit like this, but obviously with a few deviations thrown in here and there for good measure ;)

We can decide in the morning based on weather/enthusiasm etc

See you there !!

    Either option is good with me, but haven't been to Spokes yet so quite fancy that tbh. But yes let's see what the consensus is in the morning.

    Consensus was for the cafe run, so 7 of us set of down south. Great ride that can be summarised in one word:

    Mud !

    So we slithered a bit, went gingerly around the corners laced with wet rotting leaves and even forded a small river at one point near Aspenden to get to Spokes. Def worth the trip though, cake of the day was superb, white choc and raspberry sponge :)

    So suitably fortified, we trundled our way back to Ashwell to give us pretty much bang on 50 miles @ a shade under 16. Oh and the forecast was right and it was almost completely breeze free today !!

    Thanks all for an excellent morning, great company & good fun. Def a cafe to do again, but might go there a slightly shorter way next time !
