Slowly getting my endurance level up on the bike.  Really need to invest in a pair of cycle shorts, just for the anti-chafe and padding abilities – can always wear them under a pair of other shorts.  Did a 10 mile loop on the towpaths today, avoided running over various ducklings as I did so.  The nice part is I’m not even really that tired after the ride, nor am I sweating hard, so I know I can go even further without issue.

Found that the national cycle network runs along the towpath for a distance, and then there’s a branch off past Offchurch called the Offchurch Greenway – good climb up from the towpath, and then across a ridge with fields rolling away into the distance.
