Such a nice city. Shame I was too young to appreciate the history then.
Great roads for training too. If the wind doesn't send you mentally insane!

Ah, headwinds are something to be embraced and cherished. They're the Fenland equivalent of climbs in weird places with bumpy ground. On days when there's a good stiff SW wind, I like to go up to Three Holes (yep, it's a place) and ride along Sixteen Foot Bank to Chatteris. 14.2km, dead straight, no shelter, straight into the wind. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, as @Cycliste and Nietzsche would claim.

Yep. Lived in Ely for the last 12 years or so.
