CCA 3-Cafes Spring Classic, Friday 21st March 2025, 8.30am

edited January 8 in General


Hi all

The annual '3 Cafes' CCA Spring Classic ride over to Maglia Rosso, with the Blue Egg and Saffron Walden Costa either side, is on Friday 21st March 2025. 8.30am departure from Ashwell.

All welcome - CCA members or not.

A great early-season challenge. The daffodils will be out and there'll be a hint of warmth in the air. Everyone who does it gets a 25mm D-pin metal badge of honour.

Route:

Please let us know if you plan to ride on this forum. There is no cut-off date though. You can just turn up on the day.

Here is the Maglia Rosso lunch menu. If there is a high turnout, it might be an idea to send over a pre-order.





It's a full day. Always a laugh. We usually get to Ashwell Three Tuns around 6.30pm, so bike lights are required.

  • Hi Martin, long time no see … heard you were running 3 Cafes Ride again … and in case you haven’t already discovered it, we have a sparkly new Greggs in Saffron Walden. The coffee (so far) is surprisingly good. It’s on the market square. BR
  • Looking forward to this. :-)

  • Me too! My first ever one! I just need to work out how to get out of my screen in my garage. I've been stuck in here since October.

    The weather forecast is very good. Sunny, with a headwind out, and taily home.

    8.30am departure from The Three Tuns, Ashwell.

  • Heh Martin and all - have a great ride.
    I can't make tomorrow but managed to get out today to Maglia Rosa and Blue Egg.
    Lovely weather.

    Mentioned you were coming to Maglia Rosa and they asked me to remind you they now shut at 2 pm.
    She did say if you a few mins late just call them and they'll stay open!
    Bike shop there is shutting down and has some bargains... leave space in pockets for impulse buys!
  • Good for the info Stef ;-)
