Sunday 31st January '10 - The "Off The Cuffley" or "North Road HTFU-Riders" Ride
26 mile loop from Cuffley. Profile: mixture of hilly and flat; also quite 'technical'.
http://www.bikemap.net/route/380560.
Train Out - Kings Cross @ 8.55am, arriving Cuffley 9.26am
Train Back - Cuffley @ some time after 11am (trains are every half hour, at X.21 and X.51).
£4.00 for Groupsave4, £5.30 for Network Card or Groupsave3.
The route is a little shorter this time. Even if we're beleaguered by mechanicals (again), we shouldn't end up in the first wave of Sunday lunchtime twats; if it goes well (I will probably navigate 'on the hoof', but Garmin assistance is useful), we'll get round in an hour and a half or something.
There are some short sharp hills, but they're fine on medium gear fixed; and slightly twisty/bumpy descents.
North Londoners might consider riding out (if they're in the market for miles), and I expect the train stops at Finsbury Park.
