Geoff,
Hannah will be there.
I'll drop her off.
Darren -
Carmelo,
Count me in. I did say last Wednesday that I'd help.
A spot in the sun would be good.
Darren -
Tim,
Might well take a ride over to Offley hill and cheer you both on. What are your start times?
Darren -
Well done all.
Hoping to do a couple on the A1 this year myself. Not quite as quick as you lot so looking towards the middlemarkers.
Darren -
All,
I won't be able to make this ride this year due to football commitments. Have a good ride.
Tim,
If you want to get up early I'm thinking of doing a 50 miler up to Grafham Water but I'll be leaving Stotfold by 7.<… -
Geoff,
Are you OK to take Hannah again this week?
Darren -
Tim,
Yes you're right. We'll probably need 4 course marshalls, at least a couple of timekeepers,, I think 1 at signing on would be enough (we weren't a disorderly rabble this morning) and of course a couple of people to do the teas and … -
All,
Well done this morning. Was a bit disappointed with my time to begin with but looking at some of the other times I can compare with it wasn't all that bad. Faster times means the wind from the other direction. I might have a go o… -
Well done Tim.
Weather looking ok for Sunday.
Don't know about everyone else but I'll be riding out to Clophill from Stotfold about 7:15ish depending on start time.
Darren -
I've got a feeling it's effectively 2 circuits of the A507 between the Clophill and Maulden RABs. If this is the case it's a nice wide stretch of flat road with a good surface and depending on wind should produce reasonable times.
Years ago, t… -
Geoff,
Depending on lad's football, might well be along for this one. This is where I came in last year.
Darren -
Sorry,
We are going to be about 5-10 minutes late.
Darren :D -
Geoff,
Hannah's not out today. Hurt her back and neck last night at swimming. Have a good ride.
Darren -
I passed you all in the opposite direction approaching Henlow Camp.
I had just done a similar route to you but in reverse with the added delight of a swift descent down Sundon hill.
With a tailwind I was easily doing 28mph d… -
Geoff,
Hannah unlikely to be there tomorrow. We're a bit busy tomorrow.
If things change one of us will let you know through the forum.
Darren -
Geoff,
Hannah's just about to leave.
Darren -
Wasn't sure whether my lad's football was on so set off on my own at 8:30 to get some miles in beforehand. Estate roads were white, and negotiated very slowly. Roundabouts were taken at about walking pace, as were any downhill stretches. As the su…

Geoff,
Is there a ride tomorrow?
Darren -
Tim,
Couldn't make it to the pub on Tuesday, any chance I could pick up my order from your place?
Thanks,
Darren -
Turbo is your friend. It's giving me a chance to catch up with all of my old radio comedy backlog. Can't beat a bit of the Now Show.
Darren -
Hi Tim,
I ordered a ss sleeve jersey for Hannah, poor little girl won't have anything else under the tree, oh and bibtights and bibshorts for myself. Not too worried about my stuff if it can't be sorted as well.
Darren -
Tim,
Don't suppose the latest clothing order has arrived.
Darren -
I was debating whether to do a double turbo session, or more likely sit on my backside and do nothing. But with no football and the prospect of not getting out on the road I was starting to go stir crazy so thought I'd risk the road at lunchtime. J…

Hi guys,
Bit of info for you. I went out this afternoon for a couple of hours. I managed to stay mainly on dry main roads. Thermometer in the car read 2degC. I didn't go over the top on clothing (bibtights, 2 pairs of socks, normal s… -
Geoff,
Don't expect to see Hannah tomorrow. Looks like she's coming down with flu.
Darren -
Thanks Tim, Richard & Lyndsey.
Well I might not have one the main event but I claim the CC Ashwell gurning competition.
Taking the inside of that corner was definitely a bad idea, must have lost a fair few seconds there.… -
Tim,
What time is first man off on Sunday? I presume 10:00
Darren -
4 girls plus me, Rachel & Eva. Out to Bassingbourn and Abington Piggotts. Hannah, Rosanna and I did another loop out to Shingay whilst the others had to get back for a trip to Manchester. About 19 miles for Rosanna, just over 31 for me and Han…
-
Well, don't know what everyone else did but Hannah and I, and Daisy turned up late so we did what I think is the chain gang route. Only rained for a short amount of time but not overly warm.
Geoff, as you are away, is anyone else around… -
Well in the end I went for the Moda Stretto.
I tried a Felt F4 and wasn't overly impressed with the wheel package. I wasn't that keen on the Ultegra levers either, the large bump meant a completely different shape to my old 2000ish vint…
