Nine of us set off from Haslingfield, still quite cold but for once without much wind. Even so, found it quite cold starting again after coffee stop and lunch.
Took route up through Great Eversden and Highfields Cadecote with Dave W leading. Usual jolly crowd at the Church Hall in Swavesey and about as many riders waiting there. Nice chunk of cake and tea to help us on our way.
On through Fen Drayton, Hilton and Graveley towards the Ambiance Cafe in St Neots. Quite a long stop and slow to get everyone mobilised for the ride back. Some left at this point while the rest of us came back via Gamlingay and Wimpole. Still very muddy in places and lots of scraping noises from the front mudguard. Took the front wheel off when back home, finding the mudguard caked solid underneath, probably an accumulation over the last few rides.
65 miles on the odometer. Used the heart rate monitor for the first time, pulse averaging 98 and peaking at 130 bpm.
