<p>I continue to cycle on Sunday mornings. I'm only cycle when the temperature is above 10 degrees C and the wind is less than 10 mph. It doesn't always workout and I have been caught out by an unexpected rain shower in the past.</p>

<p>I'm nearly back on form and this week I finished the circuit 30 seconds faster than last week so I'm definitely over the Covid infection.</p>

<p>My route takes me along quiet country lanes through some beautiful countryside with very few serious hills.</p>

<p>About half way round there is a ford which I could avoid by going over a footbridge but where would the thrill be in doing that?</p>

<p>At one point a hare leapt out in front of me and I followed it along the road until it decided to turn off into the wheat field at the side of the road. Early morning wildlife abounds.</p>

<p>I'm still using my 20+ years old bike which isn't the fastest thing on two wheels but neither am I. I have considered buying an electric bike but what would be the point of that? I cycle to keep fit although I could go further with an electric bike without getting too tired. Maybe it is something for the future.</p>
