Nice looking day with wind supposedly lower than the gales of yesterday.
Started raining early one so quite wet going out. The Garmin gave me funny responses, probably because I'd used navigate to starting place and didn't go all the way down to Greta's. It seemed to want to insist I did rather than pick up on the route thereafter.
So confusion at the start and not the route I'd intended. Went through Whittlesford and on to Ickleton and Saffron Walden, then out the on a standard route to Horseheath apart from turning off right towards the Camps in Ashton. Neighbour Nick flagged me down near there, by coincidence just driving by. Borrowed his map just in case of further misadventures.
Went on to Horseheath, taking the further route through Streetly End rather than braving the fast A1307. Nice pub lunch, big toasted sandwich, before setting off again for Thaxted. Not easy going and still a fair wind. Also some grinding from the front derailleur despite asking Trisports to adjust it.
Back via Wendens Ambo and Great Chishill, opting for the short route home from Flint Cross.
70 miles in all. Garmin not started until a bit into ride so showing lower mileage.
