The one posted on 9th March is there. I don't see any earlier than that, nor later. Odd :-\

May ride completed ...
Very nice morning ride up onto the Cotswold escarpment.

0 - 10kms : Two climbs, Coxgrove & Hinton taking me up to the Cotswolds.
10 - 20kms : Pleasant ride thru the villages of Burton, Acton Turville and the very busy Badminton which is getting ready for this weekends horse trials.
20 - 30kms : Crossed the busy A46 to Hawkesbury Upton before dropping down to Horton.
30 - 40kms : Nice tailwind took me speedily across Chipping Sodbury common and into the town of Yate.
40 - 50kms : Ride back home via Coalpit Heath and Henfield due to the bridge closure on the A432.

A good 50 Km loop which I'll definitely ride again ... 👍

Nice ride @Spartak but I fear you have the wrong chat zone thread.

Just done 3x in 3 days, with loaded tourer & camping gear. First time for 3 years. Still trying to decide if I’m too old for roughing it, but I’ve got reasonable kit and do enjoy the challenge. The tourer was built up as a lockdown project, but not getting the use it deserves. Still considering a multi-week euro tour, but something always gets in the way.
Slow progress with lots of climbing and headwind for first 2 days, and a few km of energy-sapping gravel. Cold mornings but sunny afternoons.
Lovely cycling country, long stretches with zero traffic in Northumberland & the Borders.

Back to the Cotswolds for a few more hills

I had a longer ride planned for today, but wasn't "allowed" to leave early, as I had father's day duties So I made up a ride as I went, in a loop around Rugby, avoiding the showers
