we had some showers earlier but it's all bright and breezy now, is there coffee at the station?

I think so. Didn't get a look last week but i'm sure The Doc said something about coffee earlier in the thread.

Dom and I will be at kings x at 9 if you fancy a coffee and a groupsave Dave!

 

[TheDoctor]

Probably too late to help, but there is coffee at Stevenage station.
See you all soon!!

Bugger. Overslept. Bugger. I woke up at 7 a.m but couldn't get out of bed. In my defence I didn't sleep Fri/Sat and was awake for 36 hours. I didn't get to bed till nearly 1 a.m, so it was probably best that I slept in for longer. Look forward to doing this again Doc, are you going to make it a regular ride?

[TheDoctor]

I think I probably am going to make this a regular thing.
I did wonder what had happened to you.

Very enjoyable leisurely ride with a nice halfway feast, good to meet some new CC'ers for the first time. Very lucky with the weather, although a little windy at times. Must do it again! Thanks Doc

Thanks to the Doctor for a lovely route. I would definitely be keen to do more of these, especially if I get the route home a little more sorted! Thanks to a rather exciting down hill bit leading me to miss a turn, I lead TDr1nka to a rather nasty dual carriageway, then U turned to take an alternative route, which turned to grass and had a 5 bar gate at the end - these things are tricky in road shoes!

We eventually got back on track and made to Potters Bar in one piece despite the head wind and hills (Essenden being particularly troublesome!). 45 ish miles at a guess.

Another thanks to the Doctor, good to meet you all & the weather was kind, apart from the unkind wind which made constant appearances. Excellent choice of tea/food stop & hope to meet up again soon.

Thanks Doc for a great ride with great company and a nice food stop. The weather wasn't too bad, a bit windy at times and only one brief shower at the end. Nice pics guys see you all soon....

 

[TheDoctor]

Glad you all liked it!!

Since the last two seemed to be a success I'll start doing these as a regular thing.
There's a few tea stops we've not been to yet, and a number of different ways of getting to them.
Expect to see a thread in the next few days or so...
