  • Think I'm out. I have a big fatty boom boom barbecue to attend. Day-um.

  • how is the ride? huge hills?

    mareeoh, there are no hills to speak of dude. one of the flattest rides you can do in this country, a few undulations a la the southend ride but even less so really.

    guys, sorry i can't make this one. sister is getting married that day so a pretty good excuse, especially as she has asked me to give her away.

    the routemap posted is a decent route and pretty straight forward.

    lebowski - there is no way near the amount of navigation required compared to the southend ride but let me know nearer the time and i will happily put a cheat sheet together as my contribution to the day.

    enjoy the ride all.

  • Sorry to hear you won't be joining us jonny, although a sisters wedding is a pretty rock solid reason. We'll have a pint in Cambridge's finest drinking establishments for you.

  • i'm out (obviously) which is a shame since i love london _ cambridge.

    one comment on the route: near the end you are by great shelford and there is a very cool cycle path from there to addenbrookes hospital that runs next to the railway line. totally off road with a lovely surface. it is painted in 4 different coloured stripes, representing (A G C T) and it spells out one of the genes mapped in the human genome project.

    which is nice.

    Thats what it is. I see this on my way up to work when i'm in cambridge. Always wondered what the building was as well.

  • Looks great. Count me in. just hope my bike is up and running by then.

  • just a quick question, as this will be the first time that i have attempted, anything like this. so i understand that will be riding to Cambridge. but the real question is how will we be getting back, will it be a ride back? because i don't know if my legs will permit me to do that! or will we be hopping on the train to get back?

  • Normally we all go to a pub and people kind of leave at different times and head to the station. The hardcore drinkers ( not naming any names ) are usually the last to leave.

    Because the train traveling in staggered there never seems to be much grief from anyone
