Some piccies from The Rat Run / The Woods Cyclery route.
It fortuitously landed on the weekend of the hottest September on record. 160 miles ish circular, starting in the New Forest, through Corfe Castle via Bournmouth, Isle of purbeck, some north dorset hills and up to near on Salisbury and back down again.
Camped from the thursday night to start on Friday morning after a delightful coffee at The Woods cyclery and some route tips from the owner Tom. Drove home on a sunny sunday evening. Amazing hospitality at The Cricketeers in Shroton after a savage climb up hambledon hill. Shooting stars and bioluminescent algae during a night swim on the Dorset coast. 10/10 route - hot though.
First time bike packing on the 29er. Fitted some ergon grips and squeezed in my frame bag, wore a Camelbak. Very thankful I took an MTB, 35mm tyres on the Kona would not have suficed. Although my thumbs hurt for weeks regardless.
