Club run reports - 27th May

Category 3 ride led by Peter Bloomfield

Summer seems to be here so it’s 60 mile rides for Cat 3 now, pack those gels!  Ten of us set off for a sunny ride to The Blue Egg in Great Bardfield.  There was a bit of a wind (when isn’t there these days!) and it was in our faces most of the way to the café as we rode out through Much Hadham, Canfield and Great Dunmow.  Oh joy! the wind stayed where it was so we had it largely behind us on the way home.  Thaxted and Stansted Mountfitchet were on the route, then on to Bishop’s Stortford where a particularly testing hill split the peloton and a three-man breakaway carried on unabated while the rest regrouped before continuing towards Ware without further incident  -  Much Hadham again and Cold Christmas, before rolling down the hill back to Allenbury’s.  62 miles in all and no hiccups.
