So it’s the first fine Tuesday since our Coast and Castles ride, and we’re out for a cycle ride, well me and Claire anyway – lots of excuses from everyone else!
We decided to head out for a shortish ride to South Croxton – We heade out via Watermead Park, through Syston and Queniborough and on to South Croxton. We stopped at the Golden Fleece, which had a lovely menu and ordered a drink. The barman looked slightly stressed and then informed us it would be around half an hour before he could take our order. We took our drinks outside and consulted the map for other food options, but nothing was very near 
However, after around 15 minutes he advised us he had a table for us and we happily went in and had a lovely sea bass and chorizo risotto!
We set off again (with a quick stop to say hello to Claire’s boss Eleanor who lived a couple of doors down from the Golden Fleece) through Beeby then back along the A47 through Humberstone and were back by around 10.30. Nice little ride, coming in around 25 miles
