Cloudy (mostly) and cool, with rain threatened in the afternoon. But I thought I’d do 60km or so. To make it interesting, I planned to do one of my regular Twycross Bypasser routes, but in reverse. I thought it might be a challenge to remember the turns the “wrong way round”. Clearly it was, because I took the requisite right turn on the way down a bit early, at Barton instead of Carlton. Actually looking at the track now, I took a short unintended detour at Swepstone, as well.
Anyway after that I mostly did what I’d intended, but I made better time than I thought, partly because I’d inadvertently used a more economical route. So I took a detour to Measham on the way up and approached Ashby via Heather rather than by Gallows Lane. Actually to be honest that latter detour was mainly because I’d confused myself.
So yep quite an interesting challenge. The headwind was a bit annoying. But there was occasional sunshine. 62.32 km done.
Checked the Boardman wheels when I got home. I’d managed to get the very slight wobble out of them by tightening the hubs, but it’s come back a little bit. So I have to either change the bearings myself, get someone else to do it or buy new wheels. Maybe an excuse for an upgrade.
