A fun descent through fields, woods and often mud.

All Saints Church

Highlight • Historical Site

All Saints is a pretty flint church that was founded in the 13th century. The Grade I-listed church has had some issues with its west tower, though, which was rebuilt …

Icknield Way Singletrack Near Bell Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

I love this mud field. It's just a big field filled with flints, leading to a gentle singletrack ascend followed by a downhill towards the mighty M11.

Icknield Way Wheat Field Path

Highlight • Trail

A long, long, climb southbound. Bumpy and rutted into the usually prevailing SW wind.

Tip by

30.5 km

Mature Apple Tree

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Riding down here in September, the field is edged with mature apple trees laden with fruit, as well as brambles and sloe berries.

Days Bakery & Food Hall

Highlight • Cafe

Great place for a break with a good assortment of sandwiches and cakes as well as farm produce. Plenty of seating outside if the weather is good.

DNA Pathway (Addenbrooke’s to Great Shelford)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Connection between Biomedical Campus and Shelford with an unfolded gene on the path. Though the paint declines (nice analogly for DNA reading faults) still impressive if you think about the amount of information stored in this relatively small gene alone.
