On the tandem today into an unusual SW wind. There was even a bit of sunshine about, watery, but still, much needed.
For a treat we went down Long Road, helter skelter, up and down we went. Mrs Dave complained that she had too many layers on. We stopped in Barton so that she could do a striptease
Right in front of the church, oh lord!
Through Haslingfield, and The the A10. Normally we're lucky here, not today. We waited and waited for a gap. Eventually one came. Next came the level crossing. More waiting.......
Not good for an impatient bloke!
On to Shelford and a cup of tea at Days bakery. A bloke complimented us on our bike, we got chatting. He mentioned doing Lejog and having a bad day through the Pennines..... "Is your wife called Sally?" asked Mrs Dave, "yes, are you Jo?" He asked. Mrs Dave does an evening at the arts theatre with her. Small world.
We also saw a tandeming family, mum with a child, dad with a child on his bike.
Grantchester and Coton on the way home, saving Madingley Hill for the end.
24 miles.

. Mrs 26 in particular was giving the pedals a right good bash all the way around. We rode through the school and on down the Hams stopping to check out the waterfowl situation. Not much about. Much water to spread themselves thinly over and apparently some shooting had been occurring nearby. We looped up and over Wickridge Street to approach the Staunton cafe from the east.
we pulled the tube out, it turns out he pinched the tube with the tyre levers, second tube in we where back on the road heading towards the pub, nice bangers and mash washed down with a couple of beers, great ride even greater company, One more ride in the morning then a couple of days of the bike resting, all this training for the training camp.
but the building got rebuild like for like.
