Cambridge River Runs

While staying in Cambridge, I took the opportunity to get in a couple of runs along the trails next to the Backs and then out by the river Cam. The first, a night run, was punctuated by the sound of fireworks from the Bonfire Night celebrations; the second, in the early morning before visiting a customer, was much more peaceful, with the boat crews at their practice on the river.

I must say that, although I knew a lot of people rode bikes there, I was completely unprepared for the scale of usage. The big advantage for a runner is that this creates a network of paths that can be used to avoid the cars.
