Seeing as the weather in Peterborough is apparently so good at the moment, I felt a well deserved blast on the bike was in order to get some fresh air, have a ponder over a few thoughts in my head and get attacked by what felt like hundreds thousands of airborne insects.
I’ve been out and about on two wheels a fair bit over the past few weeks but haven’t really ventured beyond the city limits and considering I keep seeing all these cycle network posts (hinting that there is some kind of bike path mecca awaiting me if I just went a little further), I thought now was the time to investigate.
The Peterborough Green Wheel cycle network project was part-funded by the Millennium commission
and makes up Peterborough’s contribution to the National Cycle Network and covers a distance of over 41 miles on it’s “outer route” which I’ve mapped out: Peterborough Green Wheel map.
The Green Wheel includes more “spoke” cycle routes that dissect the city and surrounding villages, which I’ll get round to adding to the map one day but today’s outing only took me out to deepest darkest Flag Fen and back. I did get to see Peterborough’s millennium bridge though:
Oh and yes, the title of this post should DEFINITELY, without fail, be sung to the tune of the Queen track of the same name.
