Hello all,

Hope you all had a good ride last week. Here is my suggestion for tomorrow - I'm sure that you will all be delighted to see that for a change we are going down Everton hill !!

    PS Am very pleased the route goes down Everton hill, can't imagine riding up it - but it sounds like I need to find out!!
  • as we did that route last week, and having discussions with David, the new route is:

    bit more lumpy!
  • Hmmmmm.. Maybe it will be the 'introductory' ride afterall...

    Lumpy sounds painful!
  • Hi All,

    Many thanks for letting me tag along today :-)

    I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to next weekend - if you will let me :-)

    Thanks again guys

  • Twelve of us (I think) out for what turned into the Saturday 'blue train express' ride.

    Pace started high on the flat through to Barrington, with an excellent tailwind to keep us ticking along at the low 20s (although we almost lost a few on the surprisingly rapidly closing level crossing at Shrepreth). Barrington hill was dispatched & we continued on to folwmere where the tailwind turned into a evil headwind. Over the 505 it became surprisingly lumpy up to Barkway and then down the other side to Ashwell via Therfield & Steeple.

    Final stats for the ride were 38 miles at a Saturday run record of 16.7mph !!

    Big thanks to James & Tom for their sterling work out of Fowlemere & Dave for his pacemaking at the end.

    Great ride chaps!
