Ok, I'll start. Back home in sunny Hampshire this weekend and will fit a larger rear cassette to the Cx'er and then thrash it's Griffo's off on Saturday. Sunday I'm leading a ride around the South Downs over my way on the Roadie. I have 16 folks coming down from Town where they will play "follow my leader" and it being the Longest Day we will hack 100 miles up and over the bumps. I bought some new shades just for the event... m/ :D Et' vous?

Wet, wet, wet round the Goyt. Hard to tell if I was in or just by the reservoirs. Now I'm back, it's brightened up.

Grounded tomorrow

Tour de Hampshire is as soon as I can start taking some of my overdue AL - hopefully second half of July 🙂

Shall we now have a catch up?

How did it go then? Your overiding memory of the weekend (somehting you saw, rode over, under, hit, bermed, hacked, smashed, sweat over)

I did well. Saturdays CX'er hack was nice and having fitted 30t cassette made for some super spinny climbing sessions.
Sunday a right old hack, 16 mates from Town came down for an introduction to my part of the Hampshire South Downs roadie blast and we tip/tapped around in graceful purposeful style. All scoffed the huge cake I'd organised and a big thanks as always goes to Springs Cafe in West Meon for their dedication to feeding hungry bikists.
Top day, top weekend, top mates, huge smiles and aching legs...
and a bit of sunburn.
