1 November - CTC Ride

Started out nice after heavy rain overnight and high winds yesterday. Met up with Barbara so we could intercept the riders rather than go up to Hauxton and back again. Did a rather long cut, few miles further than expected, but still met up with the group at the Silver Ball transport cafe.

Rode on to Buntingford down some great country lanes except than one was flooded to several inches, over a long stretch. Had to keep going or get soaking feet. Sue had puncture in the middle but made it to the end, to be waited on by the bloke mechanics.

Arrived at Buntingford cafe just as the heavens opened. Nice panini lunch. Rain conveniently stopped meantime so a dry ride back. Bit of anarchy coming back with different clusters doing different things.

44 mile route, about 16 riders.
