Having downed a cappuccino and a slice its time to head back into town where this time we go on the road. A super fast Strava sector keeps flashing on your Garmin, and your aero-tucked looking at the Watts as the dot hovers over that PB. If you’re holding over 40Kmh and get to the meeting point you might be rewarded with the fastest of the day. You get another chance to open the tap coming into Cambridge approaching the narrow bridge then there’s bragging rights to who can get to the cafes first.

This is a regular Tuesday night meetup ride for sometimes over 80 riders. Going through Cambridge’s main street we then cross the narrow bridge out of town to then all meet up at the Karapiro corner. If there is time, some riders will ride to the lake and back. You can ride that section in my Karapiro ride.

A nice easy flat ride along one of Cambridge’s frequently travelled cycle paths finishing at the Podium Cafe. Enjoy the rather nice view of the river and Karapiro Rowing Club, where Hamish Bond, our three-time Olympic rowing Gold medallist and others train. Take the ” Podium Cafe to Spoken Cycles” ride back for an excellent TT sector ride.
