Had a ride out to the alpaca farm at Snarestone with ‘er indoors, 5 miles there, 5 back. There’s a nice caff there. We sat outdoors and had afternoon tea.
I was slightly put off by the large metal barrow laden with plastic sacks of “Alpaca poo”, allegedly “great for your soil”. Only £2 a go but also only a few metres from the tables. But it didn’t stop me finishing off my scone with clotted cream and jam.
A few other cyclists there and it would be an ideal rest stop if not for the fact that it’s only 5 miles from home.
A slightly cooler day and cloudy, but barely a breath of wind. Would have been ideal conditions for a long ride.
First run out on the hybrid for a couple of months. Summer is pretty much over now and I still haven’t got round to sorting out the gears, but it’s very usable as it is to be fair.
And that bumps up the September total so far to 181 miles.
