Another new destination; Almost Dutch. From the Greens of Cambridge across Fenland, a vast watery landscape of rivers, peat beds and marshes. A short stretch of bridleway, followed by the only climb to The Ship of The Fens, Ely Cathedral at all of 26 metres above sea level. Onwards along...

And so with autumn mists now appearing, we now arrive at the final night ride of the year - Shoreham. A few new roads from last time, but still 60 miles of tarmac, some hills which aren't hills, but no castles. And not forgetting the magnificent breakfast at the end in the stunning art deco...

Im going to say that im being quite pedantic but i want my first ever ride with The Fridays to be one to remember in a nice way rather then a grueling 70 odd mile ride telling myself how much I hate life and myself because i left something at home. Im compiling a checklist of things that need...
