As I ride up to Paradise copse a rabbit darts out from the hedgerow and runs ahead of me for a few metres, white tail bobbing before it dodges back into safety. At the top of the climb I glance at my bike computer and notice that the short distance covered today has taken me over the total mileage for the entirety of last year (and the year before) and August is only just ending. It would seem that lockdown has had its benefits.
