Twycross Bypasser

Rain all day yesterday but the roads had dried up nicely by this afternoon. I got round to lubing the Tricross earlier in the week so I took it out today. I wanted to do about 35 miles. I did a pretty typical Twycross Bypasser, but it was getting a bit cold after dark so I came home a quicker way than I’d intended, along Gibbet Lane.

Back on 30.03 miles, 313 this month.

I had a bit of right knee pain after 10 miles or so, but I took it easy for a bit (I mean – I always do really, but even easier) and pleasingly, it wore off.

The forecast had promised sunshine from 5pm but it was cloudy until 5:40, and the Sun only came out for about 20 minutes. But it illuminated the full Moon beautifully. I love it when the Moon’s clearly visible in bright sunlight, but it looked even better after dark – really clear, with all the features distinctly visible.

This was supposed to be a moody sunset pic. I miss my old phone.

The Tricross might be heavy but there’s something so reassuring and comfy about it. It rolls along very pleasantly.

Very nice run out, that.
