I got back about half one having ridden 56 miles, a regular route I was riding once a week a couple of years ago, I haven't ridden it since March this year. I was climbing the little rise after the Nailcote Hall and one of the club lads flew past saying hello as he did so, I caught him up for a chat then let him go once we reached the next set of lights, I caught him a bit further down when he was at the meet point waiting for his mate to join him. Later on as I rode through Lowsonford I passed a small group of riders and most of them were on E-Bikes, I got further down did my right turn and started to climb towards Hatton and they all passed me on the climb, I passed them again once we got of the climb and didn't see them again. The cafe was interesting, they were letting one in when one came out and inside they had clear plastic screens between the tables. A routine but hard ride home and I was surprised to find when I got home I'd averaged 14mph for the morning, with the amount of time I'd spent slogging into a headwind during the ride I was expecting lower than that. July has been a disappointing cycling month, I've only cycled 283 miles for the month, July last year I rode 484 miles for the month.
