I thought today's ride was going to be quite easy with the exception of a muddy patch or 2 towards the end as it was mostly New Forest - but it took us 3:38 to ride 27.5km!This did include quite a bit of navigation discussion and a few u-turns. There were some gorgeous bits of woodland just north of the National Park boundary - including a very attractive bit we weren't supposed to be in (1 of our u-turns).
X managed to fall off in style - she was attempting to bypass a muddy puddle and in doing so, pitched herself sideways off her bike and landed in a very smelly wet ditch! Not hurt - but the impact punctured her rear tyre. M's getting very adept at quick inner tube changes.
S was being very manly today - not even wincing when C gave him some very stingy antiseptic spray after he cut his shin with his pedal. Biggest shock was S & X arriving to our start point in Fritham early!
Went to the Royal Oak afterwards with Husband, S & X - summer lightning and a fab ploughmans with local cheeses and home baked bread.
