Much reduced numbers today, mostly due to forecast of strong winds and rain later on. As it turned out, the winds were quite strong and gusty to the coffee stop, but not that bad! Another stretch of headwind and crosswinds took us through Fowlmere and towards Chrishall Grange, but then we got a wonderful tailwind towards Ickleton and on to Babraham for lunch. The forecast rain arrived while we were at lunch, as well as change in the wind direction, meant it we got wet and windlashed cycling back to Trumpington. Overall a nice ride!
Stops:
Coffee – Hot Numbers Roastery, Melbourn
Lunch – The George, Babraham
