I'd be up for something. Do you have a route in mind?

Might be able to make this. Am loathe to suggest anywhere in Essex (or even Suffolk) as I might think I am returning to work!

Let me know if you want any route suggestions, there are a couple of Sportives this year that I can't make which look like great routes in whole or part

I think we will go cycling on Sunday,  but there is an Audax on Saturday from near Saffron Walden that I can recommend.

See http://www.aukweb.net/cal/index.htm for details - the trains to Elsenham are good for either the 150km (9:30) start or 100km (10:30) start.  Its not far from Elsenham  - about 10-15 minutes on the bike.

The 100km route, as far as I can remember, is mostly very quiet and fairly flat.  I think they generally do a figure of 8 loop, so that you can stop for tea and cakes half way around, if you are so minded.

I will be in bed Saturday, cos I am cycling Friday night

Yes I know CTC rides don't count as training, but Ditching Beacon at dawn is fun anyway

Beware - the route is cursed...it gave me a puncture within a few km of finishing.

Liverpool Street.

Stortford is in flint country.  I think spare tubes would be an idea for both rides.
