We set off at the slightly later time of 630 and decided to head to Seagrave with the promise of a really good pie and the longest day to enjoy! We headed out on the A50 to the Glenfield Hospital Roundabout and within a matter of 5 mins managed to get separated and lose each other. After several phones calls and a near miss for Caroline on a roundabout and a speeding car….eek! we managed to meet up in Birstall. We decided to have a quick sprint along the busy A6 to Quorn, before turning off towards Barrow upon Soar.
Finally we were cycling on nice quiet country roads and enjoying a really good downhill to Seagrave. Sadly there were no pies at the White Horse but we settled on fish and chips which were really tasty. We left the pub just before 10 and it was still very light and we saw a couple of hares in the fields (they are massive!).
We headed home via Sileby and Syston and then another quick sprint along the A46 and home for 11pm.
