Metric Centenary ride - 100k via Stradishall (101km) (63mi)
Start: Brookside
Author: Rupert
A 100k or 500 furlong ride to celebrate 100 years of social cycling. Yes, we've been riding fur(a)long time.
This variant visits Stradishall for a first coffee stop. The route avoids the footbridge to Abington but uses the footbridge on Lodes Way. So large bikes will need to use an alternative route after Wicken.
