Rapha Festive 500: London to Cambridge and Back

K, as alternative if nothing decent is opened around Cambridge I propose this place on the way back:

I don't think I've got it in me this year I'm afraid :(

@branwen

Very tempting, but I'll be in Ipswich getting fat instead.

try hot numbers coffee if you just want a coffee, although no bike space, would have to sit outside..

hot numbers also supply coffee to bicicletta so guaranteed decent coffee there too.

Hope to make it along to this. Will need to wimp out at Cambridge to get back for Crimbo stuff with the family though. Hoping we'll get to Cambridge for around 12?

That's the plan.

So the weather looks good for the route heading to Cambridge as it looks like we will get the tail wind!!

My bike is at work, locked up. I have lost my keys.

My Festive 500 is going to be a somewhat different to that which I had planned.

But you have stables of bike you can choose to do this festive ride on! ;)

If I join you will you get me a mince pie?

Why do you think I'm bring my saddle bag along for this ride? ;)

Mince pies for all!

U bailing on Essex?

Off which only the Silk Road is currently functional.

@amey

but mince pies :(

For the people who are riding there and back, please ensure you have lights and they are fully charge, incase we don't get back during the light of day.

Noted. Excited about this 3hrs of tail wind

I'm going to have to bail i'm afraid. Still not getting enough sleep from my bout of flu last week, and no way I'm going to be out of the house by 6:30 am to get to LMNH in time. Soz

Not even I promise you there will be mince pie if you arrive at the start? ;)
