CLUB RUN NORTH November 6th 2016.

Hello!

Sunday week is the day for the club run to head northwards.

I have a few routes in mind, but trying to pick a decent cafe stop is the tricky bit, so no route just yet.

It will be around 75km, and probably mostly flat. I might throw some tow path and a wee bit of pavé in there to mix it up.

We will meet at LMNH for a coffee at 9am, then roll out. Jump on the train with your bike if the ride out to Old Street makes the whole thing too long.

Provisional route until I recce it properly. Right now it's a mix of routes I ride...

looks cracking.

That it does

Shame I am helping my mum move house.

Bums. I'm racing at Addington. That looks banging and then would have had the pompetamine out for it.

Provisionally in .

Sweet. Anyone else? Come on, a change is as good as a holiday!

Nice, hopefully will make this. Will be a throwback to my days living in Stoke Newington and riding out that way.

Sweet! I'm in

Paging @Crowbar

@Nath how's the route looking?

Sorry but won't make this - forgot we have Nic's family staying this weekend so my riding window means I have to be home by 9:30 :-(

^^ the same as posted for now. Gonna try it out tomorrow to pick the café stop.

Who else is joining? LMNH isn't that far for you lot in SE.

I am defo in. Looking forward to it.

LMNH isn't that far for you lot in SE.

@Demeaux and I are racing. @biarittz is 'helping his mum move', which is not, he insists, a euphemism.

His mum is a lovely mover. So i've read.

@Señor_Bear @jaygee @Dan ?

Sorry buddy, I need to do some fast riding on Sunday as I can't ride Saturday for trainer buying.

^ Ok :'(

So, I have no time to ride the route to scope out a cafe stop, however, I have internetzed some options.

1) Poppy's Cafe in Epping (36km in): https://goo.gl/maps/T64DyVk1KTv

2) Abridge Garden Centre (46km in): https://goo.gl/maps/pLrx1AHwpXE2

3) The Wigley Bush (56km in): http://www.thecakeescape.org.uk/find-a-c­afe/cafe/55/The-Wigley-Bush

4) Acorn Hut Waltham Abbey (75km in, probs too far, least favourite): http://halfwaycoffee.com/?region=Essex

I think I'm leaning towards Wigley, but thought I would see what you lot think before I change the route.

Wigley Bush has the best name.

Unless there's a very short version of a bridge at Abridge Garden Centre.

Wigley it is then.

Have a good ride.

I cannot make any more Sunday rides until my next ride in March. 😔
