Although this is an urban route in daily use by local cyclists, it is particularly green, and leaves the city via Jesus Green, Midsummer Common, Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows. The route follows the River Cam through the city and passes the Museum of Technology in the old Pumping Station, which is well worth a visit.
The route passes the pretty village of Stowcum-Quy, where the church dates back to 1340, on the way to Bottisham, another attractive village. From Bottisham, it's worth carrying on to Anglesey Abbey, a Jacobean house owned by the National Trust (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays).
