When it’s ‘Three Degrees’ on a Sunday morning, you might be forgiven for thinking about who else may turn up and asking ‘When Will I see you Again?’ But 28 solid souls clipped in and joined the fun, charging out into the Chilterns with a few climbs here and there to make sure they warmed up …. we pot them in for your own good you know!

A new coffee stop (to us at least) provided blankets and a furnace …. snug in a rug, the banter and chatter was it’s usual entertaining and pleasant chat about all things cycling and beyond … great stuff! The Chiltern chatter that matters (the conversation not your teeth!).

Despite the grimaces at news that the final climb was Springwells Lane, it seems a few got PBs on it …. you see, this winter riding pays dividends!
