Introduction
A windy day with a west/south west breeze ranging from 10 to 20 knots. We cycled north through Histon, Cottenham and Wilburton to Wentworth (123rd) for the first sign. On to Coveney (124th) and then Witcham (125th). Mepal just had a post and then cycle on the old road to Sutton in the Isle (126th). We slogged down the busy B1381 road along the Hundref Foot Drain (which gave us some shelter from the wind) to Earith Bridge and then to Willingham. We cycled down the B1050 road to the busway cycle path and home with the wind finally behind us. About 68 km (42 miles).
