Beautiful sunny and warm evening so great to be outdoors. Mat, Stav, Hels and I headed out on the Hinckley Road towards Desford and Newbold Verdon and Market Borworth. Mat and Stav started out leaving Hels and I for dust. We eventually kept pace with them….. or they slowed down!
From Market Bosworth we travelled about a mile to Bosworth Pools. Decided to have fish and chips and sit down by the lake. Hels and I headed back up the hill to Market Bosworth to the chippie. Its was decided we needed the training, whilst the boys paddled in the lake!! Enjoyed our fish and chips whilst watching the fire brigade training with their big hose and listening to the gentle…… roaring of a gang of American cars on the other side of the lake. Mat was appalled someone was bothering to take a photo of a Ford Capri!
Headed home in a cloud of bugs and stopped at the pub for a beer on the way.
Why was Mat shocked about someone taking a picture of a Ford Capri? Was it an anti car or anti chav car thing?
Jealous of your communal bike rides. I rode up to Watford and back on my tod last Saturday – not quite the same thing as larking about around Leicestershire, but I got out, I guess.
Have you sorted Google Latitude for the big ride yet?
