Didn’t manage to get out this week, got man flu, life caught up and there just wasn’t time, but obviously Hasbro have been watching and have made me into an action figure.

On Saturday, I did the Belvoir Loop to the west of Grantham. It starts in the village of Stathern and climbs steeply up Stott Hill for about 300 feet before joining the Jubilee Way, various trails and roads and villages before joining the Viking Way for a spell, the Grantham/Nottingham canal. Then a long climb to the highest point for miles around Belvoir Castle then back on the Jubilee way again before descending back down the escarpment into Stathern. Distance 18.1 miles, no idea what elevation.

I saw this field from the Jubilee Way; I think it is a beautiful example of the ploughman's art!

Bike park season opening at local. Almost had mechanical because of bad gear change on boost, deraullier was somewhere deep in cassette and I was sure day ended there. But somehow I managed to get it out and all mighty GX worked like nothing has happened. Kudos to mechanical 12-Speed GX, keeps suprising.

So I'm thinking it's a disused railway line ? We have some not that distance though. Or maybe I should check. One that cracks me up is that straight road in Australia 90 miles long ????. I knew Jenny Graham quite well she was on about cycling it she said you could see a car light but it was a couple hours before it reached you , crazy that.

Don't be silly! Some Aussie Sheila built it as a shortcut to the pub !
