Wellesbourne the destination, 53 miles the journey. A lovely bright autumnal morning, cold at first but getting a bit warmer on the way back, a bit of a breeze making for a quick and fun ride down, but a slower ride home into it. A regular route out through Balsall Common then the short route out to Hatton and on through Norton Lindsy, left further down then right onto the A46 for a couple of hundred yards then left to cross the Stratford road and drop down into Hampton Lucy, past Charlecote Park and onto Wellesbourne and the Sandwich Delli. On the way back I just reversed the route out, meant climbing out of Hampton Lucy to the A46, then when I turned off the main road a lovely descent before I turned to climb up through Norton Lindsey, when I got to Hatton I changed the route slightly to take me through Beausale and onto the A4177 by Honily Boot, now the Honily Court and back on the route out to ride through Balsall Common across Coventry and home. An ecxelent mornings cycling, I enjoyed that one.
