Guided Busway II (10/19/2023)

Our adventure today was biking a trail next to a second Guided Busway. Bob had seen it on Google Maps, and we were near it when we biked the River Cam to Waterbeach. The busway began at the Cambridge North Rail Station, and we rode it until a small village called Oakington, although it appeared that it would continue on for about 8 more miles to St. Ives. It was an amazing, very wide off-road trail. Below are pics from the 14 mile trip.

We biked from the house to the Cambridge Rail Station, then through town (both on street and paths) before joining up with the trail near the water and then onto Cambridge North Rail Station and the Guided Busway Path #2 (at least to us).
