I have been looking for a while for a circuit that is approx 5km in length, not a great deal of traffic and with some off road/track.
I also wanted the circuit to be fairly close to home, so that if I did have a problem in the dark then it would be within easy walking distance.
Approx 1.5km is on a rutted gravel byway full of potholes and in this weather a bit of mud as well, so it's not all tarmac and easy riding.
I first tried it with out loaded panniers, just to get a feel for it and to set a bench mark time.
There was a strong wind, which slows you down a bit, and I took it at a steady, normal riding pace.
Not a bad loop as it worked out, but I may tweek it a bit as I go.
19.09km in 1hr 12mins - with an Avg speed of 15.8km
Ride safe
