With the arrival of April and the longer evenings at last here I feel really upbeat about the summer ahead and the cycling trips I hope to enjoy. This last week was perfect weather for cycling with the morning sunshine and the hedgerows now alive with birdsong and beautiful blossom, yet after a full week hitting the droves the week before I was stuck inside working and suffering a Spring cold and cough. But with last night being the first night's sleep for a week I feel far better and the cough is easing off every day. So I'll give it a day or two then I'll be out there putting in the miles.
I've been planning this summers trips starting of course with some nice easy local routes and building up to some nice long rides in June, July and Aug. I have a long list of fen and marshland villages that I wish to visit this year including Ramsey, Sutton, Haddenham and Terrington St Clement and a few towns like Chatteris and Ely.
In the meantime, I've been reminded I haven't written a post on Upwell the village in which I live so I'll be working on that over the next couple of days along with one on Outwell too.
