Up the hill to Elmdon

 A cold grey February day saw five hardy Spokers labouring up the hill to Elmdon and back. What better way to earn a reward of coffee and cake in Duxford Community Centre.

To Wimpole and beyond

A cold February morning saw six well wrapped Spokers - Hilary, Jenny, Jeremy, Philip and two Brians - heading out of Shelford bound for Wimpole Hall. It must have been the chill factor that encouraged fast pedalling as, arriving at the hall early, we decided to add on the 5 mile loop around the National Trust estate, bringing our total mileage for the outing to 29.

A dry run to Histon

With the Met Office forecasting a 70% chance of rain, little wonder Monday's turnout was low. So it came as a pleasant surprise to stay completely dry for the 24 mile ride across town to Histon and back.

Pulling in for coffee at The Station House we somehow got talking about cathedrals, whereupon Jenny, ever the teacher, set this week's homework: what's the difference between a cathedral and a minster? Answers on a postcard, please.
