Today N lobbied for a trip out on the push bikes.
We rode out from the muesli belt, crossed the wye and headed out into the wilds of HR2. The postcodes in Herefordshire are divided up like this.. HR1 and HR3-10 are all north of the river. The whole rest of the county is HR2. Anything south side and you're in HR2. And that's where i could be seen wheezing and puffing up a gentle slope as we left the city. The suburb you go through is called Rotherwas. It's where they made a lot of ammunition in the war. Did I ever tell you about the factory I looked round that had a rubber floor? It was in case they dropped the bomb bits, and not in a Tim Westwood way.
We then went off-road and picked up an old disused railway and followed into Holme Lacy. The going got tough so the tough sacked off the idea of the railway and went back onto the roads. We shimmied onto a small road heading out of Holme Lacey, and made it down to Ballingham, which you can just make out on the map above (towards the left side).
Bikes locked up and down to the river we went. Picnic by the wye and then back on the bikes to the sanctuary of HR1.
Thanks for nagging me N. You were right.
