Reviews delayed a bit...

Reviews are coming soon(ish) today. I'm running a bit late as we had a scenic ride to Redwings at Oxhill today. Whereas last time it was an 80km ride, today it was 90km (56 miles). Redwings is at location 3 on the map below. The ride went in a clockwise direction through Warwickshire's pretty scenery:


It was my fourth longest ride ever and as my mum might say "I'm nick nacky nooed".

The weary cyclist returns

Regular cyclists will probably poo poo at my achieving an 80km ride today, but I'm pleased with it. Emergency chocolate rations were needed for the last 10k but overall it went ok. The weather was foggy and very cold and my feet were blocks of ice by the time we arrived at our destination, the Redwings centre at Oxhill. It's a lovely place where you can see rescued horses and donkeys, the cafe is well priced and serves good quality food and the gift shop has many present ideas. You can buy these online but if you do live near one of their centres then do go visit. It doesn't even cost to enter.
