Weekend in Cambridge

On Saturday I popped down to Cambridge to catch up with an old work colleague, Simon, who has been down there for 4 or so years. I managed to avoid the biblical like downpour that was sweeping across the country west to east, although those waiting at Ely station caught the brunt of it as we went through.
The weekend was spent talking about a whole range of things, including how various re-organisations were taking place in our respective institutions, and mostly down while sitting outside various public houses near the Cam.
On Sunday as we walked into the centre, there were hundreds of cyclists arriving at a finish line on one of the park areas. It turned out there was a 50 mile sponsered London to Cambridge ride, which seemed a very nice way to spend a Sunday morning. I was quite jealous.
