Didn’t think I was going to ride a bike today but the forecast improved enough to allow a window of decent weather in the afternoon. Wasn’t sure what to do really .. I did sort of an odd combination of a trip up towards Donington, but only as far as Tonge. Back down through Lount and back to the main road to Ashby. Went along that (not pleasant, busy traffic) for 3km or so then left to Packington.
I planned to do a Twycrosser from there but the weather was a bit rubbish. Not wet but slightly damp, and getting colder. Actually I’d been a bit too warm an hour earlier. So I cut it short by taking a left homeward through Swepstone from Snarestone.
Only 44.87 km but considering the conditions, enough. Quite enjoyed it but I wouldn’t have enjoyed another half hour. Back about 13 minutes after sunset, but I didn’t need lights.
