Binned off the usual charity shop trawl as Ivisited one earlier in the week, I'm sick of the route and just wanted to roll around in the sun.
Into town on the tow path, bumping into a mate and stopping to chat for a bit while he had lunch. I then aimed North for a session on the rings, but got sidetracked and ended up travelling out through Marston to climb to Beckley outside the city on a little loop then back.
Gave the rings a tickle in the park; my timing poor as I first got ambushed by an inquisitive child (thankfully with his dad keeping a lid on things) before the schools evidently disgorged with subsequent chaos engulfing the area.
Minced around town for a bit and stopped for a pint before heading home; finally squeezing in a little loop skirting the woods behind a bloke on a Moulton as the sun sank for about 35 miles
