Got lost today...

oops... but only added 10 mile doing it. Was concentrating on a lorry turning and didn't see the sign for Coleshill. It was only when I ended up in Kingsbury that I thought... "ooo... think I'm lost" and had to back track ha ha.
So another 40 on the clock. Legs are knackered coz it was quite hilly. Saw a buzzard fly along by me, and a hare... which first I mistook for a fox... because it was huge and it walked across the road up ahead and I thought "blimey, is that a fox out in the middle of the day?", Then when I passed the field entrance the hare was just inside. He was huge!!!
Yes, I know hare's don't exactly look like foxes... but it was far away when it crossed the road and it looked ginger. I didn't expect to see a hare.

Getting lost is often a great way to find new places and routes.

Last night I deliberately took a wrong turn because the path I wanted to ride down had a dog on it that was anything but under control.
I found a great bit of twisty single track that runs through the trees and parallel to the path I wanted to be on. For the last 6months I've been riding down a horrible tarmac path with styles every few yards when this hidden bit of single track was only a stones throw away. If I haden't of taken the wrong turn I would never of known this alternative path was even there!
Getting lost can sometimes be a good thing.

i know what you mean... i might go out towards Kingsbury again and go out the other side. I've moved out my flat this week and on Friday will have a day free to do what i like yippee. Hopefully the weather will be good for a long ride. And you're never really lost are you? It's more like you're just off course :)
