I missed the ride as part of my team yesterday. Does anyone have any recommendations for rides in the next month or so around Herts, Essex, Cambs, Beds, London.
Looking for 50-80 miles.
Cheers

Cheers Are you looking for, A Sportive? A route you can ride Solo/with friends? Or a possible TOC ride? I'd like to be a fairly official one. Just so I can post it for my friends who donated to the L2B run that I have done something. My concerns, possibly unfounded are my lack of group riding experience and understanding of etiquette might put others and myself in danger in a sportive (though L2B sounded hairly). Thanks for any help

Do this run and you'll be fine take the lead from others and hold your line if moving out just have a gander and signal moving out.
Shoot me down peeps but I think this is right
Left arm across back pointing right is moving right Right arm across back pointing left is moving left
Point out any pot holes or obstructions or hazards in the road for riders behind
Don't cross your wheels with another rider ie your front half way up their rear wheel stay back.
Don't spit without checking as the guy following you may push you off !

Thanks for any help If I were free (work!!), I would be tempted by the London > Cambridge Ride on July 27th. 60 miles from North London (Picketts Lock) to Cambridge. Maybe one year I will get round to it, (+ cycle to start, & cycle home, which would be a nice 100+ miles!!!!)

Thanks guys these are really helpful points. I think the Cambridge run might be a good starter.
Cheers
