Making the most of the unseasonally warm weather - went out on the bike after work on a loop ~24k in length, partly to see whether there are some places a bit further out of town that are worth running around. Quads didn't like me for the first 15 mins or so, but after that the route became a bit flatter/downhill and I could get up some speed. Plenty of countryside within easy access around here - and once you can't hear the A38 it's even nicer.

Bit more exploring out west, slight variation on last week's route but heading the other way. Down the towpath to Branston Water Park - first 15 mins or so felt awful. Along the bridlepath to Millennium Wood, up to the ridge and then across to another small section of wood. Missed a turning here, some night-O through the low trees with the Petzl failed to find the right path. Eventually got back on track, and the running was feeling much easier by now, felt I was moving quite well on the last bit back along the road.

Definitely need a map of some description to explore the woodland better - some aerial photos will do to start...
