20th December – two rides!

With promising weather and two outings to choose from, why not email Catherine now for a place on the last Sunday ride of 2020? Join either Tom Jacobs & Keith Bartlett on a departure from Milton, or Keith Tremeer & Ian Dunckley on an outing from Fourwentways

Tom outlines the ride from Milton

Traveling up the A10 to Stretham, we then follow the A1123 towards Soham and on to Prickwillow. From there we will ride up towards Hilgay and choose an extended route (adds 20 miles) to Stoke Ferry, or head straight to our rest stop at Baytree of Hilgay. The restaurant offers hot drinks & breakfasts, and has outside table seating and toilet facilities

The return ride takes us through the fens and on to Chatteris, along a favourite twisty stretch of road to our end point at Morrisons Saint Ives. Our finish time will be around 1:00pm, having covered ~80 miles

Keith outlines the ride from Fourwentways

Leaving Fourwentways, we’ll skirt south of Linton and then take to the countryside, passing through Withersfield, Lidgate, Barrow & Kentford before arriving at Fordham, where we have a reservation in the outside area of the coffee shop at Simpson Garden Centre. Free-standing heaters will be to hand for those feeling chilly, and toilet facilities will be available on-site

Our return trip will take us through Stretham, Earith & Godmanchester, before finishing at the A14 Cambridge Services, where we should arrive before 1:30pm. Total distance ~85 miles
