Much Hadham ride

There is talk of the Much Hadham ride happening tomorrow night (see recent post here - http://www.londonfgss.com/thread10206-2.html). Any takers?

hmm - google maps says 28 miles

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&saddr=Cambridge,+Cambridgeshire&daddr=Much+Hadham,+Hertfordshire,+UK&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&dirflg=h&sll=52.017853,0.148315&sspn=0.460601,1.235962&ie=UTF8&ll=52.055024,0.162048&spn=0.460218,1.235962&z=10

that's 1 1/2 - 2hrs each way. Anyone done this run before?

Hertfordshire Cyclist 1: Do you get out to the Hadhams much?
Hertfordshire Cyclist 2: A little...

So I'm guessing the idea is to run down and hook up with the Londoners in Much Hadham? Cycle back? Train back?

Sounds great, but can't do tomorrow night

Avoids A120 and B1368 to Barley which I hate!

Sorry you can't make it, but much better route - thx
Just waiting to see if the London chaps confirm they are indeed going tomorrow. I guess if any of us do go it would be wise to plan on coming back by train. Have not travelled by train with bike in UK for a long time though. Is it complicated?

It would be not so bad to cycle back, non? Or do you intend sampling Much Hadham's infamous alehouse ?

looking at the London thread again, it seems they are waiting on someone to decide whether he can go or not. I guess we'll have to keep watching to see if this is on.

I am happy to ride back, just hope my shoulders don't go too numb.
A) How many are up for this? Is it just me and Harv?
B) Where do we meet?
C) What time do we need to set off?

Update from those starting in London
"if the ride goes ahead as planned looking at Much Hadham around 2200ish i would say."

Update again - looks like the ride is off again for this week. See you guys on Thursday

I can't do it tonight , one of my kids is staying for a few days and i stabbed the fridge trying to defrost it ,all the cfc's escaped . Angelo's lent me one rescued from the dump . But full of mold. My emmenthals gone bendy . Hope the bastard gets cold soon.

OK - As we did not ride on Thursday night... I think we should try and muster a posse to represent the Cambridge massive on a ride to Much Hadham (and possibly kick those rapha-wearing London wideboys off our turf!). Who wants to join on Tuesday night?

in london tuesday

I don't believe it!
Hmm... Here's a thought. Why not cycle up with the London mob?

Andersb - realistically we'll be around much hadham about 10pm and i only know the post office opposite the fire station(?) but there should be a boozer on the main drag. obviously the weather conditions and the general feeling among the riders on the night as to how much time they wanna spend in incestville will be a factor but would be good to hook up with you guys

So... weather and harv's knee permitting. 7:30pm start?

weather says rain tomorrow night... will keep checking.

ugh

from Met office

Today:

Some sunny spells, but also showers developing in the afternoon, and turning to sleet or wet snow in places, especially over hills. It will feel cold in brisk northwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Tonight:

Rain and sleet moving away and skies later clearing. Feeling very cold generally, with a widespread frost developing away from windward coasts. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Mmmmmm biking weather.
