Thursday 5th May 2016.
Another creative route to get the HCMF Meet at The Watership Down Public House. Simon joined me at 10.30 then promptly disappeared again to go home to get his phone which he had left on charge. I think it was just to ensure he rode more miles than me. We have both done over a 100 this week already with the weekend to come. Who will get the medals this week?
In Old Alresford we passed a group of cyclists from Alton CTC heading towards Alresford. It was nice to see them and shout greetings. I only had time to recognize a few, but I was glad to see that Mark was one of them. I hope this means he has recovered from his accident.
The weather was so nice that it seemed to have brought out a lot of (fair weather?) cyclists. In the first 15 miles we must have seen more than 50.
The bluebells in Ellisfield Woods were magnificent in the sunshine and their scent today was competing with that of the wild garlic.
We managed to get to the meet around 1 o'clock, we must have been on the late side because Don was already there! It was especially good to see that Alan (1) who is some 5 or so years older than me and still pedalling like a good'un. Alan (2) was also there with the Sotonia boys. He has been somewhat restricted by health issues so it is great to see him clocking up the miles once more and looking great.
All too soon it was time to head for home, we tried not to repeat our Tuesday route and were successful. Today we went through Micheldever Village and descended Mollie's Dismount to Abbotstone.
