Cambridge Cycling Campaign ride to Reach Fair and for some onwards to Ely (and back). The Reach Fair, in it's 809th year took place on 4th May 2009. The Cambridge Cycling Campaign organised a guided ride for the event. More than 300 riders took part as far as Reach with a much smaller group heading off later to Ely. Several riders then caught the train back to Cambridge with a select few making the return journey by bicycle.
