I guess Hooters in Silsoe would have been a big surprise (or possibly two !). I thought you might have discovered a new coffee & cake stop,but the 15% 'er was the next best thing.
-
Failing that you can head back on Vince's airship !
-
Either buy it in advance or at KL. If your heading back as soon as we finish the ride it can be a little busy at the ticket office, as it's around rush hour !(that's Norfolk rush hour) . If you join us for a few beers in the pub opposite the station,…

Be rude not to Martin. Three Tuns post ride anyone...?
-
Ditto Matt. A great day of bikes, beer & banter. I trust you all rode home without incident.
-
See you all tomorrow.Wangled work,but will have to pop in the office for an hour after the ride.Will be able to catch the last 60/70km of the stage. Surely not another French stage winner on a consecutive day,though it is Bastille day...!
-
Glorious weather today, with about a dozen out for 53m @ 16.2 mph. Glad you enjoyed Nathaniel, and good feedback on the route from the Gents in the pub post ride.

Okay. Not sure if this one's been done recently, but it's pretty much bang on 50m Ashwell -Preston - Breachwood Green - Whitwell - Codicote - Datchworth - Aston - Ardeley - Throcking - Ashwell. A few lumps and bumps, but looks like being a bit cool…
-
Indeed Captain.
-
I must defend the pirate side of the ashwellcc. I don't often ride with them,but there a good group of old sea dogs. It's good to have a few guys that resemble characters from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in the club....!

Stef,i'm sure Wells on friday will be equally as Glam despite the 14c difference in temperature and the 40mph gusts.
Fish n chips or snails,it's a no brainer...! -
Jim, Out and back is 200m ( 320km ) so a huge difference in what you've done previously. You might feel great when you get to Wells with a 100m on the clock, then 30m
into the return trip and your legs go,it could be a soul destroying roll bac… -
Nice one but will they hold the Leffe 750ml bottles if it's a proper sesh !
-
Very "street" Matt !
-
I'm up for this again. Is Jenny arranging catering....!
Or is it a trip to Crumps for Martin again. Look forward to seeing Matt's beer carrying
contraption this year,it was pretty nifty last year. -
Thanks all for your feed back. I had looked for bike hire in Palma,but could only find the Boris type city bikes, so thanks to Jenny for the Cyclos Quintana tip as it''s just a stones throw from my hotel. A nice Lampre Merida carbon race replica has …

Can we confirm this ride is on 9th May with an 8am start,also a couple of riders with reliable Garmins (Vic !)
to lead it.
Maybe we can start getting a list together. -
Enjoyed the ride but nominated to walk the plank at Offley,and rolled back to Letchworth with 35m at just over 15avg.
Got back home and remembered i'd driven over to Ashwell earlier,so had a couple of hours of Paris - Roubaix, then did … -
Up for the 9th May, and think an 8am start is a no brainer considering the mileage.
Now i have a reason to get back on the bike for the first time since November, though i might
need stabilisers !
How about non members… -
Good to see your braving it, see you at the boozer 7.45pm
Hopefully no fallen trees to bunny hop over ! -
Jamie,if you still want to get out but avoid the tree lined greenway,how about doing the following loop -
Letchworth,Graveley,Halls Green,Rushden,Wallington,Letchworth.
Could still meet and and finish at the pub, but a little long… -
More smug than flailing dutchman.I guess it wasn't that sort of film that required any clean up !
Did you and Nathaniel sit at the back with a bag of popcorn ;-) -
59.25 mins of cycling hard, followed by 120 mins of cleaning my bike.
I think i might do an extra lap just to get the balance right ! -
allfie,
The greenway has a microclimate, tonights 23c light southerly & DRY ! -
John aka FD
I'm sure there must be a pirate film on first. Any true pirate wouldn't watch a film about
mountains, unless your a secret sherpa ! -
Be there or be square, see you tonight for an evening of mud wrestling with clip mudguards.
-
Ok, in that case i'll take back what i said about it being slow this week due to me being on the front.
Next week a sub 60 mins, but i'll nip round before we all go out and remove the gates !
See you all next week for anothe… -
Sorry i didn't make the pub post ride, but i had to get home sharpish.
It was slower this week as i was on the front,and the chain gang was on strike (you know who you are !) -
Yep, out tonight for this one again. Certainly beats an hour of indoor gym or circuit training.

#LUNGBUSTER
Good blast round the Greenway last night, sure beats doing circuit training.
The lungs certainly got a good run out. More of the same next week.
Reminder Jamie - Chilli post ride !
