A Tuesday night Warren ride, from west to east. Lots of boats moored in the river, but hardly anyone on the Warren.
It was beautiful.
2 hares, a barn owl and the first colourful sunset in ages.
15 miles.

That's an incredibly beautiful part of the country and what must be the best 'local loop' anywhere .
I cycled out to the Lickey Hills for the first time since 2010. An amusement arcade, where generations of children blew their pocket money, is now a bar.
On the way back I was nearly hit by an ebike on the wrong side of the road. A few hundred metres later somebody told me that I should have rung my ****ing bell as I passed him. I recognized him as a former policeman who used to grope barmaids in my local.
Day 3 Rhayader to Aberystwyth.
It was much easier than yesterday. I arrived in time to have a pint and some food and still got a train home three hours earlier than planned.
