Very Last Minute Social Ride / Beds, Cambs, Hunts

[Marshmallow_Fluff]

It's been a long time since I last saw some of the 'usual suspects' of the area.. Anybody fancy a short, social ride from Sandy to Waresley, Grasdens, St Neots and back through Blunham, Gr Barford, Cardington, Southill etc?
It's roughtly 35-38 miles (expandable up to 49 miles), nice slow social pace (14-15 mph), no major climbs and a variety of coffee stop choices..

Yes! This Sunday!! (that's the 8th I believe...)*

I do appreciate it's a -very- last minute thing, but give me a shout if you do!


*Special thanks to Musa for pointing out this -minor, if you ask me!- omission..

Just got a pass from the Mrs. Will be cycling down to Sandy. Is there anywhere I can grab a bacon sarnie in Sandy?

 

[Marshmallow_Fluff]

No, but if you are nice we might pop in to Waresley Garden Centre for a pit stop.. (I'll have a scone, just to keep you company)

We are out Saturday night with friends and expect it to be a late one.....If we are not in too much of a state Sunday morning we'll be along for this.

It's going to be sunny as well ..... Who wants to work when the sun is out, especially when 'the others' are out cycling and eating cakes??? Eh? Eh?

How lumpy is the route? I'm vacillating between the Ribble bike, and my Carbon Uberbike, which has a lower bottom gear (34x32) but also some ominous creaking noises.
I'm reluctant to get a compact onto the Ribble, but I could if necessary. Got a 40T single chainring on there, which suits me very nicely.
EDIT - just seen that we're going Cardington - Southill. I know that hill. Compact it is...
