My ride today, posted today!
No foggy photographs from me today... I had all the fog I wanted driving from Norwich to Latimer Park last night at work.
Once I'd got myself into gear, I set off by lunchtime on,apparently, the warmest day in November since records began. I wish I'd have gone for the shorts option but wasn't sure what time I'd get back, and it does chill down noticeably as the sun lowers in the sky.
Anyway, the route was, sadly, my normal drive to work but I veered left in Little Harrowden towards Orlingbury before I got there (phew!) Onwards to Broughton, where I rode past one of the many memorials for the WW2 airfields.
Totally invisible from ground level, the old airfield is quite obvious from above..
The road from here, through Draughton, is one of my favourite bits of tarmac in these here parts. A lovely flowing down, up, down and up couple of times, for a mile of so over open fields. There can be vicious side winds sometimes, but today was kind.
Quick photo opportunity by Draughton Rectory gates.
From here, I was heading towards Old but fancied an ice cream at Pitsford Res, so hung a right turn through Scaldwell and Brixworth to get there.
Usually there's an ice cream van at the top end car park, but not today. I had to ride though the crowds enjoying the smashing weather to get to the cafe at t'other end of the res.
Still, it was worth the effort. Once I'd cooled down with the raspberry & white chocolate cone (with a flake) I headed towards home via Merry Tom Lane and down the Brampton Valley Way for a circuit of the town and home.
Back home on 41 miles unbroken sunshine and lovely subdued autumnal late afternoon light.
