Enjoying the sun and some old aircraft before tomorrow’s 200k

Saw @skudupnorth leaving as we arrived for the 110km version, or rather Skud's over-sized saddlebag disappearing at a junction. Oh, also @Rob and Alison who were on a tandem.

We had a 2pm lunch appointment in Lincoln with my eldest so had to shift it round, although we got a 15-minute stop at my parent's in Bottestford: https://www.strava.com/activities/1872835367

Back of my son's rear wheel, plus Bob and Alison:

I've ridden a lot of those roads heading out from Leicester to the vale of Belvior ,nice cycling area

I was looking for you at the start. 11.5 hours of riding in some stunning but often lumpy scenery. The fixie was a challenge and my lovely saddlebag did a perfect job

Just looked at the website for your route it mentioned Laund Abbey if you did that an a fixed wheel respect it's proper lumpy round that way

Don't put it off ... I know how much you love climbing, so why not join us for this one in 2 weeks time!

I'd love to but I'm washing my bike that weekend

Unfortunately to @Supersuperleeds relief I have organised a forum ride for that day so we can't join you on a very hilly audax

Laund Abbey did beat me along with a couple of lumps I could not get a run at. Mind you, the same lumps beat some of the geared bike riders so I did not mind the short walk !

But we get lots of cake !

Ah, the Season of Mists!

I’m down for that. It’ll be the first audax I’ll have done in a couple of years. I’m looking forward to it, but also wondering how much fitness I’ve lost and how much I can get back between now and then...

See you there!
