Two Hours Later...
...and I've finished a short 12 mile bike ride. Not bad after so much non-exercise! I ventured along the Stratford Canal today. There are some seriously dodgy spots on the tow-path but it's a nice trip.

I was hoping to head a little further down the canal to Hockley Heath but the cold wind was getting to me so I turned back.

Once I'd got back in to 'civilisation' it was a bit warmer so I meandered my way back to the house.

While I was in Shirley I tried to follow the cycle path but it kept stopping suddenly and then reappearing a bit further down the road, on the opposite side! Not a very good way of doing things if you ask me.
