Yes perhaps. I think the easiest way to do this is for you to post your Strava profile page - I can then follow you from there. Mine's here if anyone wants to follow me: https://www.strava.com/athletes/15135388
Thanks. That worked, I can now see your activities. Some good photos on there too.![]()
15 degrees with a strong (15-20mph) southerly wind. Cloudy with glimmers of sun. Started off with shorts and short-sleeve top with arm warmers, which I quickly had to remove before overheating. 32-3km, 84 metres of ascent - 65 minutes.
Just for a change I went round part of the Lichfield ring road, underneath the West coast mainline railway and past the ditch where I found my last but two bike. No bikes today. Continued past Curborough sewage works, which processes what the people of Lichfield can't, and on to see the HS2 'works' where it crosses the A515. Couldn't really see anything different from last time I went this way on Christmas day, certainly no sign to indicate that there will be a railway here. Lots of people in hard hats though, and also 4 x 4 vehicles with contractors names on them.
North on the A515 to meet the River Trent, just North of King's Bromley, which was just about within its banks. Turned around here and then headed East against a difficult crosswind on the A513 past the Wat Mahathat Temple and Buddhist Monastery. Crossed over the A38 at Alrewas and then entered the Tame Valley. No flooding here, and the river looked to be at a normal level. Continued along the A513 until Elford before turning off and crossing the Tame again, followed by the West Coast mainline railway again.
Saw 5 cyclists, all wearing long tops and bottoms. If you don't wear shorts in 15 degrees C, how warm does it have to get?

As a retired runner I think this must make me the Imelda Marcos, (or should that be Marco Imeldas), of Staffordshire - unless someone out there can beat this![]()
