10 Jan 2013 - CTC Ride to Ickleton & Barley

First time of leading!

15 or so riders, two joining at the coffee stop in Ickleton.

Cold and light fog, about 2 deg showing at the start and get even cooler, particularly after the lunch stop. First time of using the Garmin to guide the route but made the same mistake as Tuesday at Langley Upper Green where it had selected a route that was no more than a muddy track. Adrian took the helm and got us back to the route, at the expense of a few extra miles. Seemed like quite a long stretch to Barley, with most of the group staying together but four going more slowly, led by Mick Cousins. We'd been at the pub for a while before they arrives, and even then Barbara was a bit behind.

Decided to come back as directly as possible, so Flint Cross, Fowlmere, Thriplow and back to Hauxton where I'd left the car.

45 Miles
