10.48

Went to see a man about a van this morning, which was conveniently close to a cycle route I had planned in the sort of gap between Coventry and Solihull. The pic was taken at Packwood House, a National Trust place; the line the shadow is approaching is 11 am. There was another one opposite, presumably for the afternoon. A good ride, lots of nice little roads and indeed lots of cyclists on them. The circuit didn't quite get me to the 40 miles I was after, so I repeated a little bit of the start which entirely serendipitously reached a cafe near Meriden.
