A dry, bright day out there and I hoped I was sufficiently recovered from my latest round of COVID to do 40 miles or so; enough to get the monthly total to 400.
I set off at midday with the intention of doing about 20 down the southbound route, then turning back. I did feel a bit unstable just after setting off – I don’t know if the virus has affected my inner ear or something? I was getting flashbacks to learning to ride my first bike! But I was OK after 15 minutes or so.
I kept going south for 23 miles, and took a left up Lutterworth Road to explore a little. I’d started to ponder the idea of doing a fondo at this point. But I definitely wasn’t 100% and I decided to play it safe and turn back.
Back on 48.82 miles. Looking at the weather, that might be a wrap for 2023. 409 this month, 6413 this year.
Really nice out there today. Quiet.
