The enthusiasm holds out for another week

Another lunchtime excursion in January. If I'm not careful, I could get addicted to this! This time Burton Green, Balsall Common and Kenilworth via the castle – a longer version of this route from last year. 12.5 miles, 56 minutes, average 13.4mph. Nice to see the average over 13mph this time. It was very windy when I did last week's excursion – that's my excuse for an average of 12.6mph, and I'm sticking to it!

The road from Balsall Common to Kenilworth is always much longer than I expect, even though I've cycled it quite a few times now. It just seems to keep going. Each time I come to a bend in the road I expect to find Kenilworth on the other side of it, and instead find another hill. That's the hard stretch of this route. And the traffic whizzing past can be a bit intimidating.

Still, I feel a lot better after that little trek. Back to work…
