Sunny Ten Mile Cambridge Ride 2018

So, the delights of early spring in Cambridge when the sun comes out. This ride has lots of cycle paths, quiet streets, open spaces, very pleasant in the early spring sun. Even the speeding close cars on Gilbert Road didn't spoil the mood. Every interaction other than that was with a smile, drivers included!

The start point is from Hills Road near the railway bridge, heading down Brooklands Avnue.
