Cambridge road ride

[Stephen C]

Don't encourage them, I have to drop to the inner ring just to get up my driveway!

We could just do a few laps of the guided busway at the end to level things out .

AAAaaaarrghhh! My daily commute route - no thanks!

If you're determined you can make a ride which just sneaks into the 'hilly' classification for elevation gain per km over a 50-100km ride without looping on the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire/Essex borders. It's all in little short sharp climbs though.

not tempted to join the fun then?

I'm intrigued, do you have a route worked out for that?

I was out around kirtling, Ashley, Dalham at the weekend. A few slopes, but more importantly, really quiet roads.

For round these parts (St. Neots), heading North & West is where the most undulating terrain (I'm not saying hilliest!) generally is. North of Kimbolton & over the A14 but staying west of the A1 is my personal favourite part to ride in. Dead quiet and lovely countryside.

I like the idea of quiet! I've slowly been exploring further that way, it is a nice area.

It's gone rather quiet on here - I want to know that if I turn up at King's Parade at 9 tomorrow I won't be on my own.

 

[Dave 123]

I'll be there, opposite the Corpus clock.
As usual, after having the idea I've been a bit under the weather the last few days.
Hopefully I will feel a bit brighter in the morning.

 

[Stephen C]

I'll be there, weather is looking good, looking forward to it.

 

[MisterStan]

Morning gents. I've got to spend the morning replacing my rear derailleur as a last minute fettle has gone slightly awry....

 

[Dave 123]

So you'll not be playing?

 

[MisterStan]

'Fraid not. I've cross threaded the barrel adjuster....

 

[Dave 123]

Next time......

 

[robjh]

I'll be leaving in about 10 minutes - just got to find my lights for the fog!
