More mud, a ditch & lots of scratches

19 mile bike ride on Saturday - from home & it took over 1 hour longer than a similar distance in the Forest last weekend - a little tougher!

We went up Watley Lane which was still an unridable quagmire on top. Dad called when I had just pedalled up the steep first bit (by accident - he meant to call Mum) and I subjected him to some dodgy sounding heavy breathing as I tried to muster enough breath to talk to him! We we went through Twyford & headed up Cheesefoot Head on a track that's been in accessible due to red flags on previous rides. It was a much easier acscent than the Fawley Down track we've done before. Then headed down Kings Way and Warren Lane - love that downhill! From Baybridge, we hit tarmac as we were in danger of not making our planned night out...

Good boogy at the Dungeon later on - they seem to have covered up the dancefloor smell problem with increased smoke machine usage! M & I came closer to haveing a long walk home, but after half a mile or so, finally got a cab.

Picked lots of beans at the allotment today then aimed to get teh garden looking less neglected as it wasn't raining. For once!
