Because I’ll be on holiday from the 11th Sept I decided that I wanted to get some extra cycling in before then so I set myself the goal of 100 miles cycling in the preceding week. I planned a route through Warsash, Bursledon, Burridge, Botley, Durley, Lower Upham, Owslebury, along the top of Hampshire to Bishops Waltham and then home via Titchfield. That gives me a round trip of exactly 40 miles.
The weather on Monday was grey but dry and I completed the 40 miles in a little over 2 1/2 hours. I repeated the route again on Wednesday in pretty much the same sort of time. Sadly I couldn’t complete the same route on Friday due to the driving rain, so I cut the route short at Lower Upham. The shortened route covered 25 miles giving me a total of 105 miles for the week and so achieving my goal. Roll on the holidays next week
