Local road race Saturday.
Then Sunday I can enjoy a relaxed paced road training ride through the Chilterns. I shall be recovering and going steady which will give many a MTBer the chance to post 'I owned a fully lycra'd up roadie and left him in my wake' Monday morning ๐Ÿ˜‰

Dude to spending last weekend in Afan I've decided to reduce my wife points overdraft and spend the weekend bike free.... sort of, so taking this afternoon off to do a good 40miler over dartmoor tehe... and hopefully get up early enough on Sunday to do a quick blast before wify awakes! Hopefully will mean I avoid all annoying fair weather riders!

I would have been belting round the track around my local resevoir on Sunday, but my new bik (Merlin Malt 2) doesn't get here until next weekend or so.

Hence, I must bide my time.

Hora - it'll be fine. Just start at Langsett or Fairholmes (?) and do out and back with a loop at the Langsett end (look at the OS map - theres an obvious BW loop)

I set off from Fairholmes the only time I did it and hated the tedious bit along the reservoir and the boggy bit up.

Langsett- is there a start point (obvious?)

Cutgate Sunday, Hora??? I've lost your email address, mail me if you fancy it. I'd want to do it out and back from Fairholmes though, to save on driving. Cafe at Langsett.

Was going to go Llandegla but have too much uni work to do really so I can't really waste 4-5 hours just on travelling ๐Ÿ™ So I'm just gonna have an hour or 2 on the western park jumps then crack on with more work. Hopefully the weather stays nice enough to go Cannock next weekend to give Phase II a go. Only about an hour away.

Isle of Wight.

My hay fever is bad at the mo, so a bit of cheeky clifftop riding over Tennysons Down breathing in the sea air should work wonders.
