Just rolling

Sophie and I went for our final training rides this weekend. Sunday was just a 24-mile amble through Richmond Park. Monday was a more serious 40-mile affair, starting at Haslemere, passing through Liphook, then turning onto the A272 to Midhurst, Easebourne, Tillington and Petworth, along the South Downs. We had a short late-afternoon break in Petworth Park before heading back to Haslemere.

Average speed was 12.4mph. Not too bad considering my fully-loaded panniers and the rather, ahem, “undulating” nature of the course.

Unfortunately I’m totally knackered today (“caloric debt”) and am not too confident about stringing 20 of these rides together on consecutive days. Too late to back out now….
