Lovely cycling weather again, mild dry and sunny. Low winds. But not so much time this afternoon unfortunately. I hoped to get about 30 miles in nonetheless.
Decided I’d do about 15 of the eastbound route then come back. However, after about 12 miles I took a fancy to a left turn I hadn’t taken before (I don’t think), signposted to West Leake. And once again I discovered some very pleasant cycling territory along there. Before long I saw a sign to Sutton Bonington, so I took that, and as I expected, eventually I looped back to the main road through Zouch.
I’ve been through Sutton Bonington a few times. It was a favourite destination when I was still building up my ride distances after buggering my knees. That part of Nottinghamshire is pleasingly flat. But I’m pretty sure I haven’t done the road that loops round to it near West Leake.
I must make a note to go exploring over that way again.
Anyway I came back after hitting the main road again. Took the slightly longer route home after Belton, through Griffydam.
Back on 28.35. Not quite as many as I intended. But as a wise man once said, any miles is good miles.
