Rain was threatened for the late afternoon, with a storm coming later on. But I only wanted to do about 60km, enough to take me past 10,000km for 2024. The wind was coming from the south. I did a Twycross Bypasser.
I took a bit of a deviation down the Dad’s Army route as far as Old Grendon. I wanted to go down to Witherley then along Atterton Lane, but the Anker had burst its banks and flooded the road. I haven’t seen that for a couple of years. So I tracked back and came up via Sibson instead.
Passed the 10,000km mark just north of Odstone, 7km from home. I would have stopped to take a pic to mark the occasion, but I forgot to take a phone!
Mostly sunny. It was a nice, bright wintery day. Cold, about 3C. I listened to 5 Live. Back on 63.74km.
So that’s 10007km done in ’24 now. My next target is to match my ’23 total (10321).
