Hi All,

We seem to have left the very cold weather behind so a little longer ride this week.

Meet at Silver Ball, 09:30 onwards for 10:00 departure.

My original thought was to visit Krazy Horse, Bury St Edmunds however the café is not open on Tuesdays.

Instead, we will have lunch at a café we have not previously visited, Folk, Bury St Edmunds

A halfway coffee stop is planned at Café 33, Stradishall.

Route as shown on attached map and gpx file. Outbound trip is approx. 60 miles. There is no planned return trip to Royston but there are two well known return options, approx. 40 minutes via A14 / A505 or 1 hour plus via Horinger / Haverhill.

Hi All,

Still in cold weather mode for this weeks ride.

Meet at Silver Ball, 10:15 onwards for 10:45 departure.

A ride around local roads ending at Jordan’s Mill, Broom for lunch.

We recently stopped at Jordan’s Mill when our planned destination, Shuttleworth, was closed but this ride follows a different route and is so exciting that it even offers a glimpse of the famous “Pope Towers”.

There is no planned coffee stop.

Routes as shown on attached map and gpx files. Outbound trip is approx. 45 miles. There is a planned return trip to Royston but there will be better options depending on your destination.

Hi All,

Still in cold weather mode for this weeks ride.

Meet at Silver Ball, 10:15 onwards for 10:45 departure.

No planned coffee stop this week but lunch at The Temeraire (Weatherspoons), Saffron Walden.

Routes as shown on attached map and gpx files. (Round trip approx. 60 miles)

There is no parking at The Temeraire but we found a free space for “two” motorcycles at nearby Swan Meadow pay and display car park.

We had six riders. I wonder how many motorcycles we could fit in?

Hi All,

Continuing the cold weather theme but a slightly longer ride this week.

This is the same route that was planned for last week and was postponed re bad weather.

Meet at Silver Ball, 10:00 onwards for 10:30 departure.

A coffee stop at Madingley Hall Cafe followed by lunch at The Mad Cat Inn, Pidley.

Routes as shown on attached map and gpx files. (Round trip approx. 70 miles)

12 riders started from the Silver Ball this morning and headed to Madingley Hall for coffee.

We were greeted by Matt’s wife Teri and after a pleasant stay (a big thank you to Teri for coffee) we headed across country to the Mad Cat Inn for lunch. Decent roads and a good ride.

Hi All,

We continue with the cold weather and so will keep the rides short, and stay away from narrow lanes with grass, gravel and deep potholes, until the weather improves.

Meet at Silver Ball, 10:30 onwards for 11:00 departure.

Lunch at Herbie’s American Diner, Swavesey / Bar Hill.

Route as shown on attached map and gpx file. (Round trip approx. 60 miles)

Hi All,

Once again it looks like there will be an escape from the very cold weather to just cold weather, but this Tuesday without sunshine.

We will continue to keep the rides short, and stay away from narrow lanes with grass, gravel and deep potholes, until the weather improves.

Meet at Silver Ball, 10:30 onwards for 11:00 departure.

Route as shown on attached map and gpx file. (Round trip approx. 55 miles)

Lunch / coffee stop at Shuttleworth.

Nice ride out today for 11 club members. Start from the Silver Ball cafe then via Baldock, Hitchin, Shillington, Shefford and on to Shuttleworth collection cafe. Unfortunately it was closed today and tomorrow for renovation work. Alternative venue decided upon and a very nice lunch was had at Jordans Mill , Broom.
