Along the river to Milton

Monday morning saw perfect weather for cycling and five Spokers setting off along the DNA path bound for Milton Country Park. Along the way we stopped to admire the view from Chisholm (we like to call it Our Jim's) Bridge before following the towpath along the Cam to Milton.

Milton Country Park has the most cycle-friendly of cafés; where else can you ride up a ramp to the first floor, park your bike and take a seat with a view over water? The coffee and cake is pretty good too.

Returning via central Cambridge, we wove our way through the tourists on Trinity Street before turning homewards via Grantchester and Trumpington Meadows.
