What a group. Alan, Rob, Rich drove in from a far distance to join Jon, Brian, Shahbaz and I. Marco joined us enroute just before we reached Oxborough. This is the largest group we've had and they picked the perfect ride to show up. Every mile seemed to raise the temperature outside and the laughs amongst the group. Rich even afforded us a laugh as a pretty lady said hello he saw fit to lay his bike on its side. I think I'll find a better place to stop for a snack next time we head out this way. They were friendly but we had to sit outside due to booking and the prices were a touch high. We were blessed with long straight roads on the way back home along with beautiful weather. Hats off to Shahbaz for taking his first ride of the year on a DF and doing 55 miles. Thanks again to Rob, Alan,and Rich for driving in and everyone else for attending.

Looking at something like this for the 25th... https://www.strava.com/routes/3490585
Probably a few locals from the Hemel Cycling Facebook group - mostly on upwrongs as they haven't been converted yet!

Many thanks Will!! Really nice ride...
Sunday 25th looks doable for me if anybody would like to see some of the roads around here - Probably out over Ivinghoe Beacon... There will be some hills (but lots of down as well as up... )

I think I'm going to cry off tomorrow, my left knee is giving me gyp after an ultramarathon three weeks ago, don't think it will be happy with 3-4 hours on the bike, even the recumbent.
Seems I need a bit more tiem to recover these days |

I've just put 3 new tyres on the Catrike which would seem to be the best tool for this job... I think the Stelvios that were on it were probably original from 2006!
They were ok but lots of cracks. Now got Kojaks on the front and a Durano on the back... |

Having just looked closer at the logistics i've decided to give it a miss.
Hope you all have a good ride!
