Left work a bit later than I’d intended, at about 4:45pm but reckoned I still had time to do 20-odd miles if I took a bit of a risk with oncall duties. So I did.
Took the X again and did a Ratcliffe-variant Twycross. After realising I didn’t have a front light of any sort attached to my bike, I thought of turning left at Sheepy to do a shorter version and nearly did, but decided I’d just about get away with it if I put my foot down a bit. I was back just after 7pm and there was a bit of light, enough to see the road anyway.
Wanted to pay special attention to the stress on my knees over the level stretches, but there aren’t any really. It’s not what you’d call a hilly route by any means, but it’s not level either. Lots of gentle inclines.
24.72 miles, a pleasing 271 this month and for certain my knees are coping OK with regular ~25 mile outings at the moment.

Had a look on Google Maps and the Strava route planner last night to see if I could find a sufficiently flat bit of England closer to home (Notts maybe) to save me driving 50 miles to Lincs on Saturday, but not really.
