I’m out, Grafham was suggested, depending on whether the cafe is open or not.

I’ll try Grafham cafe again later, otherwise La Hogue or Debden look options 

I might be out with Adrian too, I don't want to be too slow for the main group on the S.S. as only done two CIRCA 28 mile rides last week.

My descision formulae -
Distance (D) + Speed (S) - Capability/Ability (CpA) ± Fear of slowing the group down (Fn) = Wimping out big time (WOBT) :-(

Not a fan of Tom's cakes for a group it's basically on a main road with virtually no seating :-(  

I'm with Simon re Tom's. Great cakes but on a busy corner and not enough space if we're going to be a larger group.

I'm fine with either Grafham (suggested route's here- - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40372130)  or La Hogue (suggested route's here - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40367860).
If the cafes at Grafham aren't open Colmworth golf course would be the back-up.

Thoughts?
 

Sounds like La Hogue then - the first one to express a preference usually carries it, though slightly against the wind.

it is 8:00 from the Heath, picking up Melbourn en route?

I'll probably take a shorter route back from Saffron W.

Yes, I'll be starting from the Heath car park at 8am and we can pick-up others in Melbourn.

(For anyone wanting something shorter,  is the ride to Tom's Cakes still on?)
