Not quite another "Ton".


Having almost completely recovered from a bad attack of Sciatica I got out on my E-bike once again enjoying one solo ride and another in company with a modest group of Winchester CTC riders.

On Thursday, I made up my route as I rode according to how well I felt. This resulted in a somewhat convoluted route to the HCMF meet at the Brickmakers Arms in Swanmore. On my way I went past the Shoe Pub in Exton where I spotted this interesting vehicle:


After a short stop in Swanmore, I continued an erratic way home via Durley, where I paused to admire the little church.

Church of The Holy Cross, Durley.

I was mightily relieved that I completed over 40 miles with absolutely no problems. In fact, I felt better for the excursion.



When Saturday morning dawned I decided to join the Winchester CTC ride to Houghton. Here is my report of my ride:


I was even home in time to see most of the exciting Tour de Yorkshire stage 3 on the TV and the end of a very tense snooker match between Gary Wilson and Jud Trump.

Another good result, though I did ache a bit when I woke on Sunday morning.

One of the benefits of riding with the CTC group was it gave me the chance to catch up with the news of my many friends.

When I checked my Strava data I was a little disappointed to find I had fallen just one mile short of the 100 miles for the week! I was tempted to pop to the shops on the bike this morning just to achieve that but decided the walk would probably be better for me.
