Sunday saw me riding back into Wales again, with blue skies, the wind on my back and another crossing of the Runcorn Bridge.
Progress was swift for the first couple of hours, then I started to climb ...... and climb. I stopped to eat my sandwiches part way up one of these climbs, I usually try to avoid stopping until completing a climb, but on this occasion was glad of the break.
I was heading towards Corwen but decided to do a U-turn at about the 45 mile mark as the prospect of a fabulous descent in font of me implied that I'd only have to climb it on the return
Passing through Chester on the homeward leg I stopped off alongside Chester Race Course (The Roodee) which is the oldest race course in England still in use.
Then once over the Runcorn Bridge I put in a few local laps to make up the distance, with a brief stop in Hale Village to re-acquaint myself with The Childe of Hale.
A ride which was challenging at times but satisfying. It was also quite noticeable that for some strange reason I was invisible to the vast majority of "roadies" .... hmmmmm.....
Roll on May once
@Edwardoka has April done and dusted
Now the football season is over I should have more free time 
Planning on mid May for my century ride, fingers crossed for nice weather 
) on my only full day available for riding this month. If I'd had any idea how cack the weather was going to get, I'd have extended this one by 12 miles.
. Oh well, at least May's effort is a shoe in 
..
