Yet another great cycle, this time 27.26 miles, making it one of the longest so far this year! Was great getting in parts of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Rutland all in, during just one cycle.
You can check out the full route and stats from the cycle at www.strava.com/activities/3352282502
I will now leave you with some photos from the cycle!!!
My Strava Heatmap for 2020 is looking very, very poor so far! Over the next number of weeks, will try filling in, much more of the map.

The World’s Most Scenic Railway Journeys (Channel 5/HD | 8:00pm to 9:00pm | Friday 1st May 2020)
A trip beginning in Inverness and soon passing Culloden, the site of the last pitched battle on British soil. It then enters the Cairngorms National Park, home to some of Europe’s finest landscapes as well as valleys steeped in Gaelic folklore. The park’s station at Aviemore is home to the Strathspey Railway, where Victorian steam locomotives come to life. There is then a climb to the highest point on Britain’s railway network before the train winds its way through Fife. Eventually the route crosses the Forth Bridge before arriving in Scottish capital Edinburgh, admired for its architecture and annual arts festival. Narrated by Bill Nighy.
