Ride 1 – Weymouth to Cambridge (680 kms) – Sept 2022
We picked up our BRAND NEW trikes in Weymouth on the English Channel. So exciting! Our hosts at the St John’s Guest House made us fabulous proper English breakfasts as we made a couple of test rides to shake out loose bolts. And we shook out a lot of them. Our trike assembler left quite a few ‘finger-tight’, causing a number of stops to pick up pieces. We finally got on our way heading to Cambridge, reminding each other to ride on the left.
The ride was beautiful, past Corfe Castle, the beaches of Bournemouth, forest trails, the huge Southampton harbour, an incredible evensong at Winchester Cathedral, magical Oxford, fabulous Ely Cathedral, fighting ferocious winds through the Fens, and a couple of evenings in our friend Sue’s house in Cambridge.
