12 March 2015 - Trial run for Sue's new bike

Very sunny but a cold wind from the north, which made the return ride more tiring.

First long run for Sue's new Trek bike and my first outing for ages.  Headed off towards Gamlingay, stopping at the sandwich bar for tea and cake.  Started back along the conventional route to Longstowe but took a left turn through the Gransdens and out onto the A428, not by design.

Lots of container lorries along the stretch to the A1198 roundabout so uncomfortable riding. Similarly down through Caxton but then quiet from there via Bourn.

Feeling the effects of not riding for a while, compounded by the strong wind on the way back.
