Club Runs 1st February 2015

Cat 5 run led by John F
Only 3 members braved the arctic winds and occasional sleet on our way to Buntingford which was shortened slightly by mutual content. Outward through Much Hadham, Little Hadham, Furneux Pelham, Little Hormead, Hare Street to Bunt. Wind assisted return through Westmill, Nasty, Old Hall Green, Colliers End, Barwick ford back to Ware. 36 miles.

Cat 6 ride led by Danny H
Six hardcore riders rode a shade under thirty six miles today on the cat 6 ( not so easy ) nine hills sufferfest.                                At the cafe stop in Theydon we were served coffee's and cakes by a very pretty waitress called Megan. ( I would say that as she was my daughter) . She also informed us that their toilet was out of order, this had the immediate effect of making everyone suddenly need a pee. Not such a disaster for the male wheelers who were sure they would find a convenient tree on the route back but more of a problem for our lady guest.
A real slog back to base into a strong headwind left us all feeling a little cream crackered to say the least........ Roll on the summer!!!
