I ran away to the New Forest for a bit of ‘me time’….. Was planning the “Dave Barter GBBR New Forest” route on sat, and the New Forest XC on Sun..
Headed up Friday night and had a chilled evening in my tent alone!
Heavy rain overnight, but was fairly modest in the morning. Headed out on the Tripster wearing far too much, and wished i didn’t have my Morvelo Stormshield bibs on!!
However, was a lovely chilled 140km in the fairly flat forest…
Got back to the warmest most pleasant evening in a while!
A bit of tea and drinks, and just chilled listening to podcasts…
Overnight was torrential rain… kept waking me through the night!
In the morning i was in a grump – everything was damp and cold…
However, I’d stuck the mudguards on the singlespeed, so just got on with it!!
Race was good – managed 8 laps, and was first SS across the line…
All in all, a good weekend!!
