Hi all

Having chatted with David J, let's do another Christmas Eve ride to the square in St Neots like last year?

Saturday 9.30am from Ashwell Three Tuns. North, then swing west and south through St Neots. All inclusive pace, probably around 16mph average.

45 miles. If not too cold or wet, we can stop for coffee stop at St Neots square. Maybe break out some mince pies and mulled wine.

All welcome - members or not.

thanks

    The weather forecast looks good for Saturday.

    Feel free to bring anything festive for our stop-off in St Neots town square. There's a cafe Nero and Greggs among other options for a hot drink. But, I have also arranged warm mulled wine and Days Of Ashwell mince pies for all. Something to warm your cockles while we look at the foam machine belting out 'snow' outside that shop there.

    45 miles. With mulled wine and a mince pie on mile 27. All welcome.

    I've just updated the GPS file - so it guides us to our St Neots market square stop-off now. Weather forecast quite pleasant for the time of year.

    Cycling history buffs... as we go along Priory Park in St Neots, we cruise past the now sadly defunct St Neots grass track. I think it's over 100 years since it saw action. It's almost unrecognisable today from the ground. But clearly visible from the air.

    I'm on the winter bike and up for a small 2-minute diversion to do a lap. Just got to watch out for the goalposts that now cross the racing line.

    Didn't know that & I used to ride for SNCC.
    Great local knowledge mate, and yes, well worth a visit...New Strava segment leaderboard !?
  • Martin LMartin L
    New strava segment! Excellent idea.

    Glad I checked I had forgotten about this.
  • timAtimA
