So technically we could all meet at the Beehive so we all cross the border together
What time you meet in at roundabout
Exactly. I think the biggest 'hill' is the one up to West Bergholt and I went up that with the bike fully loaded for the tour on 47x18 so should be fine in summer mode!
Great- will try and make it assuming my train doesn't melt...

How about this route from Withamhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/15231527(It originally went past the end of chief's drive, but I tweaked it to overlap more with ted's approach.)I haven't checked it for any blatant rideWithGPS-isms though, so it might be routing down some gravel track at some point.

Yes - A western Adventure culminating in the Axe & Compasses (click to show/hide)(in the rain?)

I'm aiming to be there. OD's route looks remarkably un-loopy and positively sensible. (I haven't yet looked in detail to see if he's inserted any bridleways, dried up stream beds or ploughed fields into the parcours).

Fred is now in lightweight mode and I still don't fully trust Conti tyres so COR is being avoided.
It doesn't even go past the beetles, in daylight when they could actually be seen, but it does go past the Compasses

Quote from: psyclist on 28 June, 2016, 12:20:14 pmSpecial request, how about the Axe and Compasses in Aythorpe Roding on one of 13th, 20th or 27th July? For me, it would be good to have something in the diary so that I can arrange to not be working in London on that day.http://theaxeandcompasses.co.uk/Now the beer festivals have concluded, would a venture to the western reaches of the area be on the cards for Wed 27th?
