  • Could be a bit tricky for me too this week. Diary looks better for next week

  • Hi John - call them and they'll do it over the phone. (I couldn't find a way of doing it online, but that doesn't mean it's impossible) BTW I've just changed mine from 4hr 40-49 to 4hr 30-39, which is rather optimistic, but that gives me a chance of…
  • I'm in. The delights of the Travelodge await me too Thai Basil fed us well before the 2014 event, so I'm tempted to go back. It's at no1 Cavendish Street in Skipton (and if that's not a good omen for some classy cycling, I don't know what is)
  • I'm in too. Still some places left in the Gran Fondo if you're thinking about it So far, in the Gran Fondo from CCA, we have: Stef, Andrew R, Tom D, Beny, Tim A, Vince, me ... ? Martin L, Chris P ... anyone else? C'mon CCA!
  • Now is the best time to ask your MP what he/she plans to do to support cycling - because right now, they really are listening If we were say, a knitting club, I'd agree that we wouldn't need to engage with politicians/government. But we're not knitt…
  • Great route and caf
  • (Copied from other thread) Thanks Andy. That was good for my legs ...and more importantly (I think), we got better and better at working as a group, as the session went on. I failed to start and stop Garmin at the appropriate points, but I'd guess…

  • I called them today and was told: 1) Start times will be sent in the post about 3wks before the event 2) Riders can change their Expected Ride Time during the next week or so. (She couldn't tell me exactly when that option closes, so you might have…
  • Thanks Andy. That was good for my legs ...and more importantly (I think), we got better and better at working as a group, as the session went on. I failed to start and stop Garmin at the appropriate points, but I'd guess our av speed varied from 18…
  • I could really do with the miles. Etape du Dales is less than a month away now Going to be tough to match your pace, I'm sure, but I'll give it a go (eek)
  • Heading home v soon. Looking forward to it Sun is shining too! J

  • v clever! It really did make we want to hop on and my legs still feel a bit twitchy now ... which is bad, cos it's bedtime
  • Me. (I can't do Tuesdays, except in school hols) Should be ok for a 7pm start, but happy to do what suits the group

  • Really enjoyed the descents today - dry roads, brilliant sunshine, tidy riding and a few big grins from Vince Logged 770m of climbing at 17.4mph av. Legs v tired indeed now
  • Good to see the Nasty ride has reappeared in the CCA portfolio of rides! Sadly you'll be about 1 day plus 1 hour too late to meet Nathan and me for an espresso in Emily's Then again, if you pedal hard enough, perhaps the clocks will go back. C'mon CC…
  • Great write up Stef For a moment my whole body ached, as if I'd ridden it too ... but G&T has sorted me out. Here comes my (cobble-free) weekend
  • How about the old favourite of Hexton Hill, down Sundon Hill, up Sharpenhoe Clappers ... ... quick espresso at Emily's (Whitwell) and return via Little Wymondley, Willian, Baldock. 53 miles With the option to go longer (- from Emily's head to Knebw…
  • Sounds good to me I'll bring the sunshine
  • poor badger
  • I might be ready for a try Fitness is coming back pretty quickly and I still seem to be pretty good on hills ... so a hilly 50 could be my best chance of keeping up? (And if not, I can find my own way home)
  • Perfect route for today's loopy weather. Thanks Nick That long straight with a tailwind was enough to make anyone grin And from behind me came the speedo readings: 25! ... 30! ... aaand 35! ... and I SO wanted to make it to 40, but just didn't quit…
  • Bit blowy, but glorious sunshine as promised. I spent the whole ride feeling either a bit hot or a bit draughty ... and decided that there is no perfect combination of kit for weather like this C'mon summer!
  • Hi Jez, long time no see ... and congratulations on your move! NZ is brilliant for anyone who likes the outdoors. You're going to love it and I'm looking forward to following Strava as you explore
  • Robbie's legs laugh at snow. It's only the rest of us that suffer
  • Gd idea to head west or NW. That'll get you through the rain band faster and then you'll get blown home. Enjoy
  • yes, I do! (Stay warm, Geoff)
  • Great idea! Count me in Might still be pretty blowy, but if the forecast is right, we'll get sunshine instead of rain
  • How can it possibly turn so wet and windy after a beautiful day like today? Late start sounds like a gd idea. (As does a pedalo. With a sail) Or perhaps everything will look much brighter in the morning ...
