I keep my routes secret so the lads are used to surprises . Just shout left or right at the last minute like meand we will be fine
To perfect the @13 rider technique, you also need to brake suddenly for no apparent reason and forget to indicate for junctions......

To be fair to him, the sudden braking was for a pee stop, though twice in five minutes
To get the complete @13 rider set you also need to take the route down some gravelly tracks and not tell anyone until they are turning on them that they might need to slow down.

This is the surface on the Brampton Valley Way... Not good for road bikes. OK on my CX though
Best using the A508, as already mentioned. I rode it today from Gt Oxendon to the Waterloo entrance, and it wasn't too bad.
I've sorted a nice little loop of about 19 miles.
Shall I post the gpx or would you like it to be a surprise?
We like surprises, also means we don't have to navigate so can sit at the back out of the

Probably Cossington for 0800 . 33 miles to Harborough so there for 1015 1030 . As we are stopping early will we require a 2nd stop on the return leg Thinking garden centre Ullesthorpe Will firm everything up by Thursday next week
@Supersuperleeds Nope, no tunnels, all 'on road' and no more than 20 miles.
I can be there any time you decide, especially now I have the rear wheel bearings fixed on my CX.
Looking forward to meeting up, chaps

You're in for a shock when you meet @13 rider @tallliman and myself. To help with identification I'm the good looking one (well compared to them two)
I can think of easier ways of identifying which of us is which
Cossington at 8 sounds good to me. Min 9 miles to there + 33 + 20 gives me almost a metric century before we leave the territory and a guaranteed ton by the time I'm home. Just hope the general fatigue I've been feeling is gone by then!

@13 rider since you haven't shared the route the following may be a total waste but the main road from Queniborough to Barsby has been closed all week. Also if going through Billesdon towards Gaulby the road coming out of Billedon has just been redressed, it is rideable but might be slow for half a mile or so. ( I know an easy diversion for this one)
