At last some sunshine coincides with a day off. Hallelujah! Out came the
Guv'nor for spin out to
Quy,
Bottisham,
Swaffham Bulbeck,
Burwell, finally stopping at
Wicken Fen and its wonderful café where I had a home-made sandwich and a bottle of refreshing beer (City of Cambridge Brewery's excellent
Boathouse Bitter). As usual I came back to Cambridge via the
Lodes Way. Since my last spin along this route there has appeared a new "Portrait Bench" put up by
Sustrans. I couldn't resist having my portrait taken on it - I presume that's why they call it a Portrait Bench? (
It seems the answer is "Yes"). Anyway, a splendid ride.
