A Ride from Gaydon

I was at The Heritage Motor Centre for a meeting today in the morning and had a 1/2 days holiday I had to use before the end of the year, so decided a short ride after the meeting was a good idea. So the Giant went in the car 1st thing and off I went afterwards.

It was a some of the route of the Rawlinson Bracket (see here and  here) but a lot shorter to make sure it fitted in to 2 hours or so.

Here's the route on Strava and here's a map view:

 Not too unpleasant a day given the time of year. Wind got up a bit at the end and there was a hint of rain in the air but it all held off.

29.5 miles. average speed 15.8mph and 1600ft of climbing. Its another 30 miles to a possible 6000 for the year. 

And as I have not done the roads around here that many times a nice handful of Strava PRs to boot as well.
