boboneleg Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I had a free day today and the weather forecast looked good so time to get out for a ride. Quick fuel up and grab some sandwiches in the petrol station at Wick and off to the first lane. Star lane was still a bit mucky , probably a sign of how things might be today........... Did a couple more lanes and then turned off the A420 at the Crown pub ............. This byway used to go straight on at this point but then somebody plonked a major bypass right across it At the end of the lane I came across this, f*cking boils my piss when the lazy bastards do this .............. Down across the A350 and stopped to take a photo of Lacock Abbey ............... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 This lane is called Heddington Steps, it used to be quite a challange many years ago with a chalk surface and steps up it as you climbed the hill. It has been resurfaced now and they have totally sanitised it ......... I stopped on the top of Roundway Hill and the sun was just starting to brake through the clouds, it had been a drizzle fest up to this point .............. Rode some lanes around the back of Devizes ........... and then down one of my favourite holloways down to Potterne ................... Did some more lanes south of Devizes and then headed to Caen Hill locks to see what they look like nowadays............. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Bull rushes to you ................. Time to stop for a coffee from the trusty flask ............. After the coffee stop I rode some lanes south of Trowbridge, caution was taken here as that bridge is probably slippery when wet ............. I started to head for home now, so a mixture of lanes and roads took me through Semington , Melksham and Bradford-on-Avon until I got to one of my favourite lanes called Pipehouse .............. and one more lane on the outskirts of Bath, taking care through the travellers camp at the bottom of the lane ................... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
