Ray writes: After leading one of the most popular Wednesday evening rides of the year, today it was only Simon who accompanied me on the ride to Braughing, with John E riding with us as far as Fowlmere. After a different route out from Cambridge, we repeated the climb from Chrishall Grange to Heydon that we had enjoyed on Wednesday, but this time carried straight on in Great Chishill towards Barley. A left turn after Shaftenhoe End took us down one of my favourite lanes to Nuthampstead. Simon was on a new, lighter bike he had built from parts from e-Bay, and he was dancing up hills while I puffed and panted behind him.
