Cycling warm up/down (To Station) 1:02:00 [4] 26.5 km (2:20 / km)
shoes: Specalized MTB Cleats
Fast cycle to Kew Gardens station to meet Jayne and Tom for a bike ride to Windsor. Went via Clapham. Pushed very hard for the first 28 minutes, until the approach to Clapham. Roads generally quiet until Wandsworth, then very busy on the South Circular.
Cycling long 3:10:00 [2] 49.0 km (3:53 / km)
shoes: Specalized MTB Cleats
Kew Gardens to Windsor, via Richmond Park, Teddington, Bushy Park, Shepperton, Chertsey, Virginia Water Lake and Windsor Great Park. The Richmond Park to Virginia Water Lake section was almost the same route that I took on my London-Oxford cycle earlier this year.
Started slowly but built up a decent pace towards the end. A bit chilly early on, but the sun came out properly for the second half and it ended up being a very pleasant day. The famous view down the Long Walk to Windsor Castle was appropriately grand. Richmond Park was also looking very nice, with loads of deer everywhere (although they get culled at night this month, so there might not be so many around soon.)
