• thanks.

    shakedown ride planned for tomorrow morning which will be a mix of road and offroad around the lanes and bridleways of leicestershire, before a bigger ride up to a YHA in the peaks towards the end of the month.

    This is relevant to my interests for when visiting family. I've really struggled to find much good stuff in Leicestershire, particularly further south around Hinckley/Lutterworth/Earl Shilton kind of area.

    I was actually looking at doing a ride towards Shackerstone (went to school in Market Bosworth so interested to go back). Looks like there's more options around there. Love that you went through Barton in the Beans. Always thought it was a wonderful name for a village.

    Edit: sorry, was @MTB-Idle who did BITHB!

  • NP I did wonder if that should have been aimed at me.

    I simply Googled 'gravel routes near Leicester' and got quite a few responses. I fancied an all-dayer so chose this one at random.

    As per my initial comments if I was a local I would probably tweak it to remove/re-route some parts but overall it delivered what I wanted.

    A few extra pics to inspire.
