What happened to forecast rain?!?!
What happened to forecast rain?!?! It was due to rain here and get lots of it! What really happened, it lasted for like 10 mins max then stopped!
So not often you hear me say this…. But I was looking forward to getting nice and wet during a cycle!

Another good cycle, this time Rutland Water
That was another great cycle! This time, I cycled from home around Rutland Water via Oakham! Also my second 30+ mile cycle of the week! Now at 93.1 miles so far this week! So will hit the first 100 mile week, so far this year!
But still got a lot, more to do this month! Right now, only done 127.5 miles when my goal for the month is at least 425.8 miles! I doubt, I will make it! But I will see what I can do!

Had fun looking at the Grantham Southern Relief Road
That was a great cycle! The longest of the year so far, at 34.13 miles. Also had a look at the first part of the Grantham Southern Relief Road. Which will take the A52 away from the town centre. But it’s a good number of years away from opening! Which now, it’s just a road to nowhere! But believe, they will be linking it up the A1 next. With work staring at some point this year.
But since it’s not open at all right now, to traffic. I had a good look around and also took some photos!
