Last weeks ride couldn’t have been more different from todays. I wasn’t sure I would get time to go out this afternoon but when the opportunity of a quick hour circuit raised its head I didn’t wait for it to pass by.

I know I am really lucky to be near enough to quiet country lanes that I dont need to plan ahead to get my bike in the car and drive to a starting point and the North Shropshire countryside has some really enjoyable cycling.

My route today was only 40K but this was enough enough to blow the cobwebs away and get me ready for a week at the home office.
