Had a reasonable ride yesterday again at just over 20 miles. However, this was the first time in ages I've actually felt like I could have gone further at the end of the ride. Unfortunately, I had to get back to do some chores :-/
I managed both the hill upto Cossall from the canal (top cut) and the hill unto strelley village where I fell off last year. That was going down it so not as much danger going up other than it seems to get narrower and more rutted. Stopped at the M1 bridge at the top to admire the new lanes. I'm sure this will just create more traffic and more space for ever increasing numbers of accidents. At least the 50 mile an hour limit has gone. I digress.....
I'm keen to start stepping it up to regular 25 mile rides but I'm running out of routes and will therefore have to start to combine loops.
I really enjoy the single speeding but the hunt for cash to buy the new shimano Alfine 11 speed has begun. £600 all in including new rim! If only I could get plenty for my scrap gold!
