I bought a new bike on Saturday (I’m starting a new job later this week for which it will be far more efficient both in time and money to cycle to the office rather than drive), so yesterday Kyla and I decided to go for a ride. Being a bit over-confident, we chose Ely as a destination, using this route from the Cambridge Cycling Campaign’s website. 40km there, and we beat the guide time of three hours by an hour. Hardcore. The downside of our outward-bound enthusiasm was that our route back via Witchford, Wilburton, Histon, which the map tells me is about 10km shorter, also took two hours and nearly resulted in me throwing my toys out of the pram somewhere on Grunty Fen Road. All this goes to show that I’m not as fit as I think as I am.
Ow.
