  • Ha. Used to go there 3 times a week for quite a few years. Beautiful place, though I was ignorant to it's beauty back then.

    But yes, the riding around there is boring as hell.

    Rode out to Ely for the first and last time on Saturday. Hadn't thought through how mind numbingly flat and boring the area would be to cycle through and riding directly into a headwind didnt help. Stopped at the cathedral for a banana and headed down towards Newmarket

    my googlemapped route sent me along the river, over some fairly dodgy surfaces and straight into a roadblock

    The route began to get more interesting as i headed south and some 'hills' around Newmarket were a breath of fresh air after rolling through the featureless wasteland that is the fens. The sun came out and I finished up at 68 miles having found quite a few little country pubs that i'll be looking to go visit as soon as i can
