A great sunny day, but only five slammers in Richmond Park. Never mind, and with a consensus that we wanted something different than the usual Box Hill route, trust was placed in my Garmin & a route to Windsor & back courtesy of the Kingston Wheelers website. All was going swimmingly well (apart from Richard's puncture) until we passed Hampton & the Garmin decided to start directing us back to Kingston (have discovered that Garmins can't cope very well with rides that have a loop that crosses over!!). Trusting good old fashion common sense, we got back on track & soon we were feet up at the Fox & Hounds in Englefield Green for a well earned coffee. Back on the road, we were back in Richmond pretty quickly & by the time I got home, the ride was 64 miles.
After an hour's less sleep with the clocks going forward, I scraped myself out of bed for what has to be the norm from now on in, consecutive days of riding. A short one at 34 miles, but 700m of climbing so good practice nonetheless.
