I think that would be the best way to finish the ride. It's what we did two years back. Last year, I was hanging back with the valiant Guray who had never before cycled more than a few miles on his knackered MTB and was really suffering over the last half of the ride, and I gather some of the other riders took a different route round Addenbrookes and up the Hills Road, but I came up the busway.
What I don't know is quite what the lie of the land is like where you have to make the transition from the DNA path to the busway - I seem to recall it involving emerging through a half-built road onto some very fresh tarmac before we got to that spur of the busway that leads across to the hospital, but things will have eveolved over the last two years, and when I was in Cambridge last week I didn't have time to check. So some local knowledge on this part would be handy, at the risk of being swamped with suggestions from the flatlanders!
