Wanted to do at least 24 yesterday, to get the March mile total up to 500. But I had time for 30 or so. I did a longish version of the Twycross Bypasser. Nice and dry again, only a light wind, not too cold. And of course that extra hour of daylight is very handy.
Quiet out there again of course. A few cyclists, a few joggers. Not many cars. One canoeist, paddling along the canal at Snarestone. I went right down to the A5 near Atherstone at the bottom of the route; I only ever did that twice before deciding I was taking my life into my own hands. But today I guessed that it would be safe enough, and it was. It’s only half a mile of A5 anyway.
Took the short cut to Bosworth via Shenton from Fenn Lanes and stopped for a while at the bench dedicated to Judith Birch, as pictured below. Such a peaceful spot.
Ended up on 35.27 miles, a bit more than I intended.
That’s a wrap for March then, 512 miles. 1224 this year.
