Only looked as if there were two HW riders in this, myself and SteveWh. As yesterday it was great cycling weather. Started about 10:35 and soon got to Thaxted via Reed. Slowed down a bit on the return as I was navigating for another couple … more ->

What a glorious day! A wind assisted trip from the ‘Uts (at Ugley) to St Neots and a not-much-of-a-struggle return. 125kms done. Then another loop of 75kms down to Chelmsford & back. Not too cold. Not too windy. Not too cloudy. Not too hilly. PW.

Seven-thirty start from Grazeley, but left about five minutes later due to GPS loading difficulties ( I can’t manage without the damn thing). Within a mile I realised that a more pressing problem was that my new chain & 1000 mile old cassette weren’t on … more ->

A good ride with no major complications until about 25kms from the end. The first hundred was fast and (as per the weather forecast) the winds were strengthening. By the halfway stage it had got quite wet. The second stage was hilly, but the clue … more ->

Hertford through Cambridge to Cottenham. Then on to St Neots, Bedford, Brogborough, Codicote & Hertford. Wasn’t particularly cold until the last hour and a half. A bright, sunny day. No rain. Encountered some steep bits around Ridgmont thru to Sharpenhoe (about 100 miles in) but … more ->

Started at 09:23 and got back at 20:40. Hertford to Braintree, Sudbury, Long Melford, Cambridge & Hertford. Due to my rear wheel not being fixed properly the local shop lent me another for the ride. Sadly this wheel’s tyre had a small piece of metal … more ->
