So it was another sunny Tuesday for cycling and we headed out on a similar route to last week. Well it had worked well, we could do some fast miles and no-one could come up with another suggestion. I think Em also wanted to enjoy a faster run on the borrowed road bike and not get burned off by the boys!
After a few arguments about who would lead our peloton (loosely speaking as there were only 4 of us!), we headed out through Anstey, Rothley, Cossington, and up to Hoby. Having completed around 20 miles we found a pub with a beer garden and a menu that suited Mat (a creamy rabbit casserole), we chose our food and sat outside while the sun set. Lots of discussions about the politics and the future of certain cycle shops in Leicester, broadsheets and the internet, not too much beer for me (I’d been indulging heavily at Leicester’s Summer Sundae festival over the weekend) and then back on the bikes through Syston, Thurmaston and arrived in Leicester before 11! Just over 30 miles in total, and no sugar crashes this week!
