Just 7 of us out this morning for the flat and indeed fast ride to the Paxtons and back. Cracking day weather wise, not really any wind to speak of & even got a bit warm when the sun came out. In an amazingly rare occurrence, followed the route…

Martin, room for a few more ? Myself, Emma and possibly SimonD will join the train for the 'cafe uno' version, just to the Blue Egg and back. Good job with the weather ordering too, looks like it's going to be a cracking day

Sure was a tough one on Saturday. Eighteen of us out so we decided to split into two groups. Both groups did the same route to Codicote and then the group I was in also decided to deviate from the planed route and added in some hill cheeky reps aroun…

Thanks Richard and Jenny. So my south route has some massive pot hole and potentially extreme traffic chaos ! Maybe best we avoid this one then. So as alternative we could head south(ish) and do a variation of the Stevenage circumnavigation: Ashwel…

The northerly route does go round a windfarm.......

Great turnout this morning for the mini egg ride. Think we might have been slightly mis sold by the weather forecasters though as it was spring-ish in a mild(ish) and low cloud sort of way. Still, can’t complain as it was miles better that either i…

Surely I need a whole new bike for those tricky between season rides; and also a support car for the extra bits of kit that are divested during the ride

Just a seven word review of this Saturday's ride: Mud Mud Mud Mud Mud and ........mud !

Bumper turnout this morning - must have been the promise of some warm weather. Brian was even wearing shorts, ok it was mild, but shorts weather , urm no ! Headed off and decided to chance Northfields road after it’s couple of years ban on th…

Eight of us out of Sat morning for a spin in the cold. Mind you, wasn't quite as cold as the forecast made out, so several of us had slightly over-layered ! Brisk pace from the off which was the theme for most of the ride. Some terrible roads on this…

Eight of us out this morning for a festive spin round the herts/Cambs lanes. Cracking day for it too, mild and some lovely blue sky. Cracked on with the route above, so out to Barkway via Sandon and on to Chishill before doing some of the less f…

Excellent very festive

Wow, that was probably best described as brutal ! Ten hardy (or in hindsight probably fool-hardy) set off on Sat morning. Forecast was only 50% correct, yes it was brass monkey cold but they had forgotten to mention the howling SE gale that started …
-
Yep I was right, it was indeed a touch windy this morning ! Fourteen of us out for the spin out west in some glorious December sunshine. Bit of a slog over to Ampthill but right good fun on the way back Got a bit split up on the A6 crossing - …

I’m interested too & either day is fine

Ten of us out this morning for a ride of three thirds. First third - hilly & wet as we found the cloud base in the Royston alps. Second third was also hilly and mysterious as Richard lead us around some cracking new (to me anyway) lanes around th…

Cheers Mike that's fantastic ! I'll message you to arrange a pickup.

Thanks all. Richard I've PM'd you.

Oh and hope the back gets better soon Simon

Twelve of us out today for the spin ‘up north’. As advertised it was indeed a. Flat and b. Fast !! Enjoyed the Great Paxton loop, def one to do again. Not sure Gravely hill counted as an actual proper hill though! Tasty pace all the way…

Thought that you might have been able to free wheel back from the Jester Ryan. Not good that you had to walk it, it’s a flippin long way especially in cleats !!

Ten of us out yesterday for the Sat morning spin. Glorious November day with some early doors sunshine. Shame that the roads weren’t so glorious though, prob best described as a festival of mud !! Also had the most random mechanical I’ve eve…

Just first claim eligible for the club title I'm afraid. Everybody can come and ride it though !
-
Ride of two halves yesterday - we got sunny and flippin’ freezing or cloudy, windy and flippin’ freezing !! Still, we are clearly made of stern stuff on the Sat ride as there was twelve of us out to face the elements. Followed the route abov…

Good luck in the nationals Dave and Jenny!

Glorious morning for a bike ride Unanimous vote for the longer ride so we headed off to Ampthill and Stewartby. Couple of bonus mid ride sprints today firstly along the awesome Milbrook to Stewtartby road then a crack at the Strava segment to Jorda…

Just keep the Ashwell church spire in view, no chance of getting lost

Was indeed very fresh this morning for the spin into North Beds, lots of layers going. Also realised on the ride over that I probably should have dug out a pair of gloves with full fingers ! But on the plus side the sun was shining & it was about…

Twelve of us out this morning for a spin into deepest darkest Essex. All familiar until Furneux Pellham before we ventured into the unknown and found some of the loveliest roads in the area. Highlight was the Manuden to Hensted stretch, a gem of a ro…

I'd be up for this, great training over the autumn/winter
