Round my regular 11 and a bit mile ride. I like this ride, less than 100 feet of climbing and its a fun route (Note to @
ColinJ, flat routes can be nice to)
Going past Lotus is the fun bit, especially at going home time. Just because they are in a Lotus does not mean that they can have ALL the road, whatever they may think. Some numpty in an Elsie decided that the road was his!
Apart from that, it was uneventful unless you count the deer bounding out of the woody bit to the right, stopping dead in front of me and glaring at me and then bounding off to the left again. Maybe he wasn't actually glaring as deer are not known for their steely gaze, but it looked like it a bit when my lights caught the bloomin' thing full in the face.
Today I tried out my new Aldi Leg Warmers. I got a S/M size as, although I am overweight, my legs are not too massive. They were a touch big but that was fine as I have been having knee pain when I wear my long cycle pants for anything over about 10 miles. It only happens when I am in my longs and I am pain free after wearing my leg warmers. They are very comfy indeed
I might nip back tomorrow and see if they have any more. I wore my new Aldi seriously yellow & reflective top too. A man in a car complemented me on my lights and bright clothes, he said he could see me from over 300 yards away. That was nice of him I thought.
11.08 miles, 97 whole feet of climing (plus another 4 inches but who's counting) in 46:23 most of it in the dark, which is a bit spooky going past the woods.
