Out to Crawley and Winchester

Felt quite hard early on and on some of the hills. A bit chillier but wore my layers. Maybe should have packed my spare thin gloves. Leggings are really thin and do not cut out the cold (especially when stopped). Good to take in some new roads. The road from King Somborne to Crawley was really good and would be excellent in the other direction. Some of the hills like over from Braishfield weren't as long as I remembered (or I am fitter). Really quite busy through Eastleigh and Soton and I really dislike cars at this time. Had a few near and too fast overtakes.

Busketts run with Nick

Great to be out in the Forest again. A lovely morning in the sun. Feeling pretty good in the mud and terrain. Making the loop up as I went, a combination of bits I knew were good and some exploring. Feeling a little tired towards the end. Right glute felt sore.

Post work run to the Common and Sports Centre

Exploring somewhere new: Test Park
Out through Millbrook then a lap of the park. Tried to see if the motorway bridge right of way was open but it was definitely blocked.

Out through Lordswood to Chilworth and back
Surprising Karen for a section of her birthday ride. Quite fast running next to a mountain bike going downhill. Said we could work up the hill and that felt harder work than I expected. I thought the bike would struggle going agaisnt gravity. Always nice to get out not from the front door
