Quite interesting ride on my Orange Titanium Brompton - Part 3

Hello there! I finally managed to write the final part of this ride that took place a few weeks ago. At the end I will provide links for parts 1 and 2 if you have not seen them. 

11, Bonnington Square, Vauxhall.

A quaint slice of London with a history as colourful as the flowerbeds tended by its residents. Built back in the 1870s to house railway workers, this little enclave quickly found its feet - or should I say, its roots?

Chelsea's rural heritage seen on a Brompton G-Line

The other day I found myself cycling in the now rather fancy Chelsea. As I past this particular building, first seen on one of Ross’s brilliant quite interesting Sunday rides a few years ago, I decided to stop and take a few photos of my Brompton G-Line…and the building in question of course! Yes you read that correctly…rural. 

The cows head on the building were once the mooo-dels (sorry, I could not resist) for Wright's Dairy, which proudly served Londoners with milk, from the late 1700s.

Overnight ride from Cambridge to King’s Lynn on a Brompton

Last Friday, I joined the lovely Friday peeps for a ride that is a firm favourite of many, but one I had never participated in before: Cambridge to King’s Lynn. Now, let me tell you, I had been asked whether I was going on this ride for some time, but as it doesn’t start in London and getting back can take a while longer than usual, I was rather undecided. But, when Dr John and Geoff, two chaps I know all too well, confirmed they were up for the challenge, I thought, “Why not?” So, I signed up and purchased my train tickets.
