Whereas last year's train journey to Ely got off to a bad start, though the bike ride home went smoothly, this year the train ride went smoothly, but the bike ride was, well, eventful.
Mid-way home, Lewis got a puncture and, confident that he could fix it, Brian C waved the others on while he and Dominic stayed with Lewis. Despite two attempts, the puncture proved too much to fix in situ, so we owe a big thanks to Dominic's wife, Hetty, who drove out across the Fens - with dog - to scoop up Lewis and his bike.

Jenny, Jeremy, Brian H, Chris and Tiggr continued homewards, albeit with an eventful stopover at Anglesey Abbey, Brian and Dominic arriving an hour or so later.
Rest assured we'll do it again next summer - but maybe we'll ride with the prevailing wind to Ely and catch the train home.
