Yesterday was driving into work - and bringing the weeks food and drinks along.
Ready for the riding in starting today 👌

Felt a little off (Slept terribly in this heat / humidity ?) the last few nights. But last night was ‘ok’ - and hence felt a little fresher this Morning 🙋‍♂️

Sunrise is starting to appear noticeably later……🤨

Yesterday's ride was from St Ives to Cambridge via the Guided Busway.

I was planning to drive to the Park & Ride (free) & cycle from there as I usually di a couple of times a year, but plod had closed the main road due to an accident/incident so I diverted & used a road that is closed for cars over the old bridge and parked in the shade there. Still, it was anextra mile or so & St Ives town centre is very pretty.

The Guided Busway with lovely wide path all the 14 miles to Cambridge. 👍

I stopped at Histon Station House café as they do a wonderful Sticky Ginger cake!!

My route, from there to Stapleford took me straight through the middle of Cambridge city centre but it really is geared up (pun intended 😋) for cycling.

I decided to visit the area I was going to be walking once I'd met up with my sister in Stapleford so rode up one of the few hills in the area to Wandlebury park and Iron Age fort for a recce.

Once into Stapleford, I was on 25 miles & feeling rather warm as the temperature was starting to rise quite rapidly.
Lovely ride, followed by a 5 mile walk set me up for the day!
I got dropped at the Park & Ride in Trumpington, folded & bagged up the Brommie for a free ride back to Stives using my Ol' Farts bus pass 👌

It was grandson's school Summer Concert this morning and it's his final week there before moving up to Big School!
Quite amazing that with such limited parking in the village that I appeared to be the only person who cycled to it! 🫤

Anyway.. 5 miles each way, mainly on shared paths, it was a pleasantly leisurely bimble with an hour's entertainment & chat with daughter & granddaughter (who drove there) Kids these days.. Pffft..
We walked up the road for an ice cream before going our separate ways home.

Quite hot and sweaty by the time I finished & ready for a cold drink.
