Spring is in the air!

Seven Spokers enjoyed a 25 mile, traffic-free jaunt to Waterbeach and back, the outbound leg mostly on quiet cycleways, returning via the River Cam towpath. We were particularly impressed with the new cycle / foot bridge spanning the A10 linking Landbeach and Waterbeach.

A dry day, at last!

After the wettest January on record, it was good to get out on relatively dry roads. Brian - the one from Sawston - did sustain a puncture but that was soon fixed and we were back in time for lunch.

Hilly and wet!

Club regulars know better than to trust Brian's weather forecasts - and when he says it's going to be dry it's best to take no chances. So it was that Monday's ride, while dry in parts, was distinctly wet in others. Just as well then that most had packed wet weather gear and were prepared for the worst.
