England : Hertfordshire New Years ride Sunday 6th January

[Marshmallow_Fluff]

What sort of pace are you planning? I've done bugger all cycling recently.

I'd say 18-19mph .... downhill (if hill is steep enough)..

I may have to put in a cheeky overtake in that case!

 

[BigonaBianchi]

...is there anywhere at the station i could change? Restrooms or something? ...

...yikes...forgot english restrooms arnt as clean as the american ones...yes...the car it is then...you can wear a blindfold

 

[TheDoctor]

OK no worries. Hope to see you both next time Chris.
@BoaB there are loos at Stevenage station. I cannot vouch for their cleanliness!
@Jay If you did Ivinghoe Beacon then Preston hill should be a breeze!!

 

[TheDoctor]

I'm getting distinctly concerned about Ms Fluff. She seems to have turned into Fnarr!

 

[TheDoctor]

No cupcakes for you if you keep up that attitude, young lady!!

 

[Chris-H]

Oh no Chris!! What a shame!! I was looking forward to see you both..
I think that makes you the next ride's hosts though!!!

On the plus side there will be at least four more cakes left for us..

Give Jacqui a big kiss from me.

We need to find a reliable babysitter before we make any further plans i think.There are a few in the villages but need to find one suitable and crb checked.Jac sends her love back.

 

[TheDoctor]

Oh. My. God.

Major change of plan.
The Datchworth breakfast stop is closed this Sunday. Bugger.
*dons thinking cap*
Looks like we might be eating at Vanstone Park garden centre.

Preston hill it is then!

 

[TheDoctor]

IIRC they do, yes. And home-made scones.
Come on, I'm not going anywhere that doesn't do good cake.
That's why we're not going to Cafe Plus in Baldock. They do a fine bacon sarney, but no cakes...

 

[jayonabike]

That tea shop on the farm was good last year, emily's i think it was called

 

[Chris-H]

Well change of plan,our Daughter buckled under the immense guilt trip and we are now coming
