The purgatory that is Ingarsby Lane

One of my favourite routes that I have been building on involves a road called Ingarsby Lane, it takes me about a nano second to get from the top to the bottom of the lane and higher speed of 33.45 mph.  Coming back it takes me 10 minutes exactly to get from the bottom to the top, with landmarks on the way that I mentally tick off as I pass them:

• The new house
• The bridge
• The area where there has been a fire
• The DMV (Deserted Medieval Village)
• The Hall
• The tree on the corner (I know I am nearly up the hill by then)
• The riding stables
• The first view of the first house
• The last hill...

Cycling past the wall of the Hall on Ingarsby Lane

It is my challenge to build on my ten minutes from bottom to top and to knock off a minute here and there - but it really is purgatory, particularly if you have just cycled 10 or so miles the other side of it.
