This ride will be led by Phil Duffy and tail-ended by Paul Norman

The ride starts at Tesco Royston. We head north along the A1198 at first, before turning left just before the Arrington roundabout onto fairly fast minor roads taking us through a few villages. Eventually reaching Potton, we turn south to Edworth & Ashwell and continue south, crossing the A505 at Slip End and joining the A507 at Rushden. We follow the A507 to Buntingford, where we cross the A10 and join the old Cambridge coaching road at Hare Street. Heading north to Barkway, we then turn right to Nuthampstead and our breakfast stop at the The Woodman Inn.

Used now only by light aircraft, during WWII Nuthampstead Airfield was home to B-17 Flying Fortresses used in missions over occupied Europe. This is commemorated on a memorial stone outside The Woodman, and in a museum behind its car park.

After breakfast, we head south on a twisty road to Anstey, then on to Great Hormead. Then we head east through Furneux Pelham and Manuden, crossing the M11 near Newport, before turning back west at Wendens Ambo, then following the “road of doom” back to Barley. We re-join the coaching road there and head north to Trumpington P&R where the ride ends.
