A ride to the south-east today, via Swithland and through the middle of Leicester, then out to the east of the city. Up a 1-in-7 hill that I had never tackled before on the road from Scraptoft to Keyham; then another 1-in-7 climb on the delightful unfenced road (with 4 cattle grids) through the sheep pastures of Baggrave Park. Back home via Syston, including an interesting cycle path alongside the Barkby Brook, rather narrow where it goes under the railway bridges. 37 miles in total.
