Looking bright and cold when setting off but some rain on the way to Hauxton. Went via Barrington then along the A10 but using the path instead of risking the road.
Fairly short ride to Ickleton for the coffee stop, after which a bit slow getting everyone going again. Nice ride to Kedington on small roads, spoilt only by the amounts of mud and stones left by flooding.
Inordinately long wait for lunch despite the few other meals being served. Most of the group decided to leave before we'd eaten, and it was 2.30 before our meals arrived. They were big, admittedly, and we ate them as quickly as possible in view of the shortage of remaining daylight.
Four of us headed back at a fair lick, eventually seeing the earlier party who had been held up by a puncture. Getting dark by the time we reached Fulbourn, where the others diverted off and I continued on my own. Went down past The Gogs and Shelfords, emerging onto the A10 at Harston and staying on the A10 rather than deviating off back roads. Totaly dark when arriving home, after total of 71 miles!
