Missing the emu

A fine September morning saw nine Spokers heading out to Balsham for coffee and cake at the Old Butchers. Along the way we pulled in at the Abington Land Settlements hoping to see our old friend, the emu but, alas, it remained skulking in the bushes affording only a fleeting view. Maybe it only comes out for Brian H who wasn't with us today.

Returning from Balsham, we enjoyed the long descent downhill to Hildersham and the upper body workout hauling the bikes up and over the A11 footbridge before returning to Shelford in time for lunch.
