New route drafted, a mix of the classic route and new lanes. Out via Saffron Walden, turn at Lavenham as always, returning via Thaxted. Got a few bits to coordinate with local CTC group regards the shorter rides they'll be running same day. We'll be sharing controls with the shorter rides where possible. Plan is for it to be published in Audax calendar this side of Christmas. I'm hoping to get out and ride the draft route in next few weeks.
Saffron Walden is the usual turning point for Emmitremus, End of Summertime 100 in October. So you're getting a mix of the reverse of the end of summertime, plus the return leg of the Start of Summertime with a few new lanes thrown in to the mix.
Thaxted as a control for these rides has never been the same after Poppies (the cafe in the lane up to the Windmill) closed
The 66,100,160km rides will be running same day as CTC rides if you fancy something shorter. They will be found on Stevenage CTCs calendar page nearer the time.
