Kirkby Lane and Bosworth

Really quite a nice day, today. I extracted the S Works from the garage with the intention of doing 20 or so after work. I took the “down south” route for the first ten miles down to the corner of Kirkby Lane and Barlestone Road, turned back, then took a left along Bosworth Lane, to come up the usual way from Bosworth.

When I came to cross the A447 I turned left. I thought I’d go down to Sutton Cheney then do the long Twycross route from there in reverse. It was such a nice afternoon that it seemed a waste not to extend my ride, and that would have added about 20 miles. But I changed my mind 100 metres or so later and turned back, to pursue my original plan.

There’s more to life than riding a bike, y’know.

Lots of goldfinches around at the moment. Their yellow plumage is effective camouflage against the trees they fly to when you startle them.
