heading out to portsmouth on saturday, tidy squad of five riders.. 91miles of tarmac..
rode with Mattha and coupla of friends on saturday..
started at trafalgar square followed the olympic road race route towards guildford and the surrey hills, then on to godalming, haslemere, liphook, petersfield, over southdowns, then long fast descent into portsmouth 6 hours and +100miles later
avg. 18mph
top speed 42mph
1,600ft climbing
beer and chips at spice island inn, then slow train back to London. The Olympic route had alot of traffic, maybe taking a quieter route if we go south again.
There was talk of a south downs ride Winchester to Eastbourne, sounds like moutain bike territory.
Next one day ride London to Banbury via chilterns and cotswolds detour +100miles, in July or August.
