First of all I’d like to welcome 3 new riders to the club. Matt joined the BOB’s for a mid week run and hopefully will be out with us for a Sunday club run, once work conditions allow.
Phil and Ian joined us today along with Calvin who hasn’t been out with us since he and Alistair had their spill on 4th December.
And so it was that 13 riders left the market square on this cold and misty morning. With a North Easterly wind we headed out to Abbotsley and onto Gransden but by the time we reached Longstowe we had to stop to turn on our lights owing to the very foggy conditions.
We then crossed the A1198 to Toft and then over the A428 to Dry Drayton and Oakington. By the time we reached Rampton, David and Adrian Bloxham decided to head back home due to the cold conditions.
When we reached Willingham we had a slight navigation glitch and after a lap of honour around the village we carried onto Swavesey.
From Fenstanton the group separated and group 2 (Phil and myself) continuing to Graveley where Phil decided to head home to Great Staughton. On my way back to St Neots I met up with David and Adrian just outside Toseland and we completed the route back to St Neots.
I understand Ade took group 1 through Buckden and Gt. Staughton before returning to St Neots.
Group 2 completed 48 miles whilst group 1 covered 58 miles.
