A breeze boosted bicycle ride this morning, yet again. The jaunt through Holbeck and Hunslet to John O’ Gaunts and the drop past Woodlesford to ride the long way round through Oulton seemed to have a three quarter tailwind all the way.
Through Swillington to Garforth and up the cliff the wind was still being kind to me, in fact, all the way to Sherburn in Elmet, where I turned left on to Sir John’s Lane and the breeze became, um, noticeable. Cold Hill Lane and Copley Lane continue on to Lotherton Gates, turn right for Aberford and the up and downery through Barwick and Scholes, a short stretch of A 64 followed by the usual three lanes and the whizzz down Boot Hill and on to the Oakwood Clock. Across Leeds, with all the roadworks that seem more or less permanent these days, and back to my front door thirty four and a half miles after leaving it. Thoroughly enjoyable!
And a map, the fascination still lingers.
Not strictly relevant, but this arrived yesterday.
