The wait is over! Ride leader Roger Taylor has now revealed the details of our next Group-organised ride, which takes place on Sunday 1st December:

Starting at BP Newmarket Road in Cambridge, the route will take us south through Fulbourn , Linton & Ashdon to Thaxted where we turn to the west to pass through Newport. We then head north through Elmdon to our breakfast stop at Café 19 in Duxford village. The outward journey is ~45 miles
The return route heads west down the A505 before branching off through Barley and down to Buntingford. We then take one of my favourite roads to Baldock, from where we head cross country to finish at Wimpole Hall after ~40 miles

Many thanks to Terry Jacobs for his entertaining Condensed Coltishall blog, detailing his experience on an i2i Motorcycle Academy course recently. Terry was just one of eleven CambsIAM members who attended the course in June at the former RAF base in Coltishall, Norfolk. As in previous years, i2i ran the course exclusively for our members, with attendance subsidised by CambsIAM
