Pretty nice weather today, but rain was forecast for the afternoon so I thought 40 miles or so would do. And I thought a Twycross Bypasser would be a nice way to spend a few hours on a Sunday.
I did a fairly long one, going up to Packington at the top and down to Fenn Lanes at the bottom. After Sutton Cheney I thought I’d come back north via the A447, reasoning that the traffic would be a bit quieter. It’s not as nice as the road up through the villages, but I thought it would make a change. I did that for about a mile but worked out that the more direct route would cost me a couple of miles, so I cut back westward onto the usual route upwards through Carlton, Barton, Odstone, Burgoland et al.
I listened to Euros coverage on 5 Live, the rest of Pete Townshend’s autobiography which I started about four weeks ago and the Who album Who Are You. I took the pic with the plastic cow at Sutton Cheney.
It hasn’t actually rained despite the forecast, so I could have stayed out a couple of hours longer in the warm afternoon sunshine. Still – 41.35 miles, 283 this month now and that’s good enough with a couple of weeks left until July.
