Waresley to Hemingford - 25 June

Wowsers, a nice sunny day and another chance to show off the suntan on the legs.  Have to say it does look a bit silly where the tan stops abruptly where the shorts start.

Met Sue at the top of Malton Lane and enjoyed the route through Wimpole and up and over Hatley Hill.  Big gathering on the terrace at Waresley, people convening from far and wide for the bargain basement coffee deal.  How on earth do they make money on the loyalty card that offers free tea or coffee, plus top-ups, for 2 years, all for just £8.

Eight on the long onward haul, not that long and a nice quiet route to Hemingford Grey. Took Jacob's suggestion of using the track for the latter bits, taking a wrong turn at one point, hence the spike on the map. Nice panini for lunch in the courtyard, spot the difference in the pics.



Left the group soon after getting back onto the bikes, heading down through Conington and Knapwell.

Comfy 55 miles, no ill effects from the LEJOG exertions and nice to be back in the saddle again.  Also have to secretly admit, nice to be in flat countryside again!
