Today Jas, Kevin, Patrick, Terry, and myself were joined by new guy Phil. The weather was bright the wind was still quite cold, but most oddly seemed to be behind us on the both the outward ride and the return. Apart from two hills (Fox Hill and Marle Pit) the route we took is fairly flat and we arrived at East Midlands Parkway railway station, our coffee stop, at about 10:45 (after a couple of stops en route) . Coming back through Kegworth and then along the A6 cycle path into Loughborough gave us a slightly longer ride than usual at 20 miles and meant we got back at about 12:30.

John had earlier announced “I won't be out tomorrow (today) as I'm going out with Ariadne to celebrate our wedding anniversary.”
