I used to go very regularly, done numerous loops and double loops, full or short laps. Summer is a bit too busy with walking visitors to get a uninterrupted lap.

That's the problem in most places you just have to be patience difficult sometimes 🙂

Was one of my favourite out & back rides from Market Harborough a good few years ago.

Pre Ebike
One of my best occasions, I took the wife who wanted to walk half way around,. Dropped her off on the North side, went to get fuel and parked at Manton.

I then did a full loop chasing her direction. I caught her just outside Manton. It was midweek, quite cool weather, the place was deserted. I held the full loop KOM(including Lyndon rd climb) for a few months until some young fella stole it from me

Sorry about that.

Sorry about that.

Was that you? . I cant find my ride on Strava, it was a few years ago. I expect I have dropped down the leaderboard a bit. Not many people do the climb into Hambleton, they take the newish lake path around which is flat.

I found my ride, Im still no1 for 200lb+ riders

3rd out of 9 overall

Just don’t ride there on a Sat during park run 😀

I can’t take the credit for it. I doubt Strava existed when I were doing my rides in that area (30 years ago).
