2/12/12
Club Run. A cold and frosty one but again under clear blue skies. We headed east out past Woodford Denford and on to Kimbolton. At this point I was lagging behind the other four, including young Hamish.
The hill up out of Kimbolton was a killer but we were soon speeding westards along the somewhat drab Bedfordshire open road through the pretty Yeldon.
At this point Hamish's batteries ran out and at Higham Ferrers he rang home for rescue.
With tired legs in the biting cold we pressed on.
45m ~3h @~15mph (didnt have garmin)
9/12/12 and 19/12/12
Only time for a short ride these days. Did the Harrington loop in 1h06m and  1h 04m respectively

TOTAL FOR 2012 - 2485m  15m to go...can I do it?? Might have to go out on Christmas Day!!!

November Rides

11/11/12
Nice ride with Michiel...headed out west on a Sunny morning - through Lutterworth & down through Shawell getting to Catthorpe just before 11am. We headed for the Church hoping to find a congregation for the rememberance service. In the event the Church was quiet & looked abandoned, so we paid our respects quietly, just the two of us, remebering how lucky we were to be free and alive.
The run back with the wind was quite pacy as we sped through Yelvertoft, Creaton, Brixworth & home...a nice run
58.2m 3h54m @ 14.9 2761ft
18/11/12
Club run with Roger & a few others. A nice northern circuit via Medbourne & along to Benethorpe & home on another lovely sunny sunday
42.5m 2h40m @ 15.9 1983ft
25/11/12
Club run with Roger & 'new boy' Simon, heading south. After all the rain in the preceeding few days this was a wet ride. Under blue skies we passed along lains of flowing water. Near Sywell roger entered a 'puddle' and was soon 18" deep!
27.8m 2h5m @ 13.8mph 1271ft
