I’d planned to do a Fondo or even a 100 miler today, but I softened and decided to take ‘er indoors out for lunch somewhere – since we were supposed to be on holiday in Wales today, before the virus intervened.

However this morning my other half decided she’d like to go out a bit later in the day instead, at 4pm. Bit annoying as if I’d known we were going to do this I’d have gone out earlier and done a Fondo. As it was, I left the garage on the Tricross at about 11:45, determined to do about 35. A Twycrosser seemed the obvious option. I did that down to Pinwall then did a bit of the “Dad’s Army” route, then back up via Norton and Orton.

Stopped at a bench at Snarestone for a mini pork pie on the way back.

The weather was a bit cold and overcast early on but brightened (and warmed) up a bit later.

Oh yes, nearly forgot – another roadside knickers sighting, on the road to Twycross. Pink, very skimpy. That’s two rides in a row with underwear sightings, after a long drought. Perhaps an indication of society opening up a bit following the lockdown.

35.34 which takes me to 171 this month. Not great for the mid-point of May, really. The weather looks rubbish for the next week, as well.
