John took the ‘flamingoes’ on an interesting ride at a fast pace through South Cambs villages, with coffee in Melbourn. The via the new boundary track around the Wimpole to lunch. Unfortunately, Mal ran out of battery at the top of Croydon Hill, so had a 5 mile push to Gamlingay, where he stopped at a friends for a recharge.
