Most will agree that Summer was a bit hit and miss this year but as we seem to be having a second wave of sunshine I’m thinking it would be a shame not to put it to good use.

Peterborough’s 44-mile Green Wheel cycle route has always sounded like a good challenge so hopefully weather permitting I’ll be tackling it over the next few weeks.  It’s interesting to see recorded temperatures over the past few months and the Degree Days website has been just the ticket, simply click here and search for a weather station near you.

Clockwise, the Green Wheel passes through Etton, Glinton, Peakirk and Newborough to the North of Peterborough then onto Stanground  and Farcet via Eye to the South.  The Eastern stretch includes Haddon and Elton Furze before coming back towards Peterborough through Alwalton and on towards the Milton and Marholm.  With a few pubs dotted around the route I’m sure it’ll be quite enjoyable
