Sunday was the SCCC Club Weekend Leicester Short Ride. Having struggled the previous day, Lesley decided to miss out on the morning hills and instead spend the morning with Andy C & Barbara.

The majority of people had gone on the long ride, there was a select group of ten of us that set off on the shorter ride.

Our initial part the route  followed the same route as the longer ride, heading up towards Leicester Airport.

We climbed up and then passed through Stoughton.

Although when we had recce’d the ride we had seen helicopters using the airport, it was quiet for the club weekend.

We stopped at Wistow Rural Centre for lunch. It was here that we met up with Andy C, Barbara and Lesley. The cafe did good food and there were plenty of interesting shops to have a look around.

After lunch, we continued our ride, passing through Fleckney.

We passed through Kilby village.

We headed towards and through Countesthorpe.

We then made our way back to Oadby and then to the starting point.

We had about an hours wait for the other group to arrive. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the ride, which was about 26 miles. You can see our route below:
