First photos posted on forum - sorted now after a few attempts!
-
I think there were 11 of us who completed the route - Daniel D, Jon, Shelton, Travis, Dan H, Dave, Theo, Chris, Nathaniel and Pete G. An especial well done to Dan who smashed his previous longest ride and all on a heavy hybrid.

Coffee at Ardeley if we are running well without punctures. Lunch at one of the Melbourn Garden Centres. Philimores if we are early enough, otherwise the posh one which does more of a buffet. The Coop at Melbourn will also be open to stock up on dr…

Nathaniel, I'll bring them and you can decide tomorrow.
-
Just to add our good luck's for your new venture and new home. Best wishes, Mark and Stevie.

Beny - I've done all the route on road tyres in all conditions, including some sections last Sunday morning in the wind and rain and no punctures so far. (I'll probably be first to puncture tomorrow!) Nathaniel - does your frame take 28mm tyres? I'…

Hi all, Slick's will be fine. Otherwise it will feel heavy going and slow on the tarmac. Tyre choice is always a compromise and the majority of the ride is tarmac. Most of the off-road sections are gravel rather than mud - there's no sections where …
-
Ben - that's it, no more route changes. Promise! The only deviation may be if we are running very late due to bad conditions, then we will take a short cut. If we are doing well on time then we might be able to fit in a coffee stop in Ardeley. I will…

Hi all, A final route modification. I have added a section at Ardeley that you will either love or hate. I think it's probably the signature section of the ride! New G section list 1. * Baldock By-Pass 2. * Willian Way 3. * Greenway 4. *** Tranchee…
-
Well done all and I'm glad it was useful. Yes, Nathaniel was meant to move about the group for that last exercise to test your awareness and group riding. Of course everyone coped fine!
-
Yes, 12 - 1:30pm. Anyone early is welcome to ride a few laps of the car park for training!

Farnham House/Robertson House, Six Hills Way, Stevenage, Herts, SG1 2FQ
Exit the A1(M) at the Stevenage/Knebworth junction.
Turn left towards Stevenage and left again to head back parallel to the A1(M) on Gunnels Wood Road.

It looks like there will be about 5 of you so I suggest we do about 90 minutes as that will be plenty of time for a smaller group.

Hi all,
Alternative route finding method, if we don't have a garmin guru.
Rider signpost leapfrog method. Front group on the road leaves a rider at each junction to signpost the route to any riders behind. Riders coming up t… -
Great to have you along Phil.
Is anyone a Garmin expert and prepared to lead one of the groups?
Thanks,
Mark. -
Apparently the whole women have proportionately longer legs thing is a myth. Mark Fraser (Cycling Weakly) will be able to confirm. Unless you need a shorter top tube the whole women's range ends up as a marketing ploy where you probably pay a bit ext…
-
I checked the Halls Green to Luffenhall suggestion. Nice path but a bit too rough due to horses. Have already scoped out some ideas for next years version near Buckland. I had heard of the Rapha version but didn't know it was still going - only 100k …

The final session for this winter will be next Monday 30th March.

Hi all,
We need more than 1 person booked up to make this work!
I need to know soon if this is going ahead, otherwise I can do something else with my Saturday.
If you want to come, please sign up below.

Stevie and I will be out tomorrow so will lead a ride.
-
Coaching clinic as well.
-
John,
Thanks, those look interesting.
The path I am using at Furneaux Pelham is parallel to the river bed one which can be tough going even in the summer. Goes past Whitebarns. Do you know the paths over Bozen Green towards … -
You should all be able to access the map via the link above now - let me know if not.

Jeremy,
If we have enough riders and a Garmin type person then a faster group could well be possible.
Route more firmed up (in the design sense not in the drying out way). Will release details of G(ravel) sections soon with… -
I think Tim is away Sunday so I will lead a ride.
Strictly tarmac this week!
Mark. -
Tom,
I can give you a lift. I have whispered you my number.
Mark. -
Stevie got in but I didn't.
Can I put a bid in for a Club Challenge team place please. -
This year's route will feature 6 - 7 unmade road sections. However just like Paris-Roubaix, I will be on the lookout for new sections to add for future editions.
Any ideas for enhancing the route will be welcome. Let's uncover some hidde…
