CC Ashwell, Xmas social, Friday 20th December 2019
Friday, 20th December 2019... Celebrate the almost beginning of the days getting longer at the CCA Xmas Social. Join in for some or all of the day...
8.30am Three Tuns, Ashwell
The ride to the London Velodrome. 42 miles. Club run easy pace. Ride all the way, or come along for a few winter miles. If riding all the way to London, pack a t-shirt, shorts n' flip-flops and a bike lock if going on to any of the social stuff later.
12.30pm approx
See you inside the velodrome for coffee and muffin? And/or, for maybe half an hour or so lolling around on the road circuit. Note: road bikes and helmets are available for hire.
3.30pm approx
See you at the Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street. We'll be somewhere in one of the cellars - so likely no phone signal (Whatsapp?). Seek us out. Or grab a good table if you're early. It was good last year in that little alcovey bit before the very basement level. If we tire of here, I think we should walk to a Smithfield Market boozer nearby. Those riding over from the velopark: we will use the traffic-free canal route to get there.
Any time after 'work'...
The Garden City Brewery in Letchworth. Maybe you can't take the day off? Then get over to the GCB after work. Anyone riding to London won't be there til 7.45pm as you can't put a bike on a train til after 7pm.
Curry?
The Shapla is around the corner from the GCB, if anyone fancies.
Cheers!

See all riders 8.30am, Ashwell Three Tuns - Merry Christmas!
And we'll be in Letchworth's Garden City Brewery on The Wynd, definitely from around 8pm, but hopefully some people will pitch up there earlier, again after work or their festive day off.
See you soon
Currently, the weather is looking ropey for Friday.
And it's improving all the time. It'll be great.
I'm looking forward to the tailwind rocket ride home. FYI though - I'll be going as far as Dane End, but it's nice and simple back to Ashwell (about 15 miles) from there if anyone else was thinking of doing the round trip.
And yes Matt - total Badasses.
If so I will head there early.
Otherwise let me know when you will all he thete
