Rode a DIY perm on Wednesday from mine to the Isle of Wight and then round the island. Rode with a friend who was keen to go along the coastal route and that made it massively over distance for a 200 at 238km. For some reason I hadn't taken this into account and the extra time for the ferry. So it was more like 15hours. Missed the last train from Portsmouth. My friend got a room and I decided to ride back through the night. Used the return leg of the Cogidubnus which was still on my Etrex. Quite a hilly route but it was a pleasantly warm night with close to zero traffic. Lack of food and drink made it harder. Going to submit my track but pretty sure that it won't validate. Ah well. Lovely ride though.
