13/12/09 out east with Kettering CC

Showers & cold - 9 of us met up at Sainsburys and headed east.
The five fast boys raced on ahead & Tom, Mike, Eve & I headed out past Thrapston. Then into new territory for me as we went through Titchmarsh & Clopton, skirting Oundle & back via Brigstock. The road to Grafton Underwood has some big hills but I had a second wind & shot up at good speed.

39m 2h30m at 14.5mph total now 2990m since Sep 2008!

Set off on a sunny but cold saturday moring. decided to head out into a stiff breeze southwards.
After Sywell I tracked westwards through Moulton & up to Naseby & home along the familiar route.
Hoped to get to 40 miles but just short - also wet on hommeward stretch

Have entered the 6/2/10 AUDAX - hope to meet up with DooGood (TimTomTaylor) if he's fit by then!
