MG- SE Winds- Best I Can Make

This is aimed at a short ‘no stop’ ride. Specifically aimed at South East winds in clockwise direction, but also good for north west winds in the other direction .
The start is hilly, so the SE don’t really effect that bad, although the first 3 miles from home will feel heavy, once up to Harthill ( the easy way) then it gets a lot better from wind perspective, but a lot of uphill stuff in the first 10 miles.
Possibly a better route for NW winds as The southerly bits are open and capture the wind, where as the northerly legs have good hedge row cover, which is why it is tricked up a bit around Bickerton to take advantage in the best way. These lanes are also good, although not a winter route, unless on the Whyte. My favourite lane through Bickerton can get very gravelly & mucky in winter, but amazingly well protected from any wind.
Even the leg north from Malpas is good, as the bit through Malpas is up hill ,but protected fairly well and then it is fast down hill to the right.
the last couple of miles are up through Carden park to hide from the easterly wind and provides great protection and also means the last 2 miles are fast with the wind
