Tuesday 6th September

I'm up for a gentle hour's ride starting from the George at 1830. Just a leg stretcher as I'm not getting many miles in these days. Will probably head off towards Hambledon, trying to avoid the gravel. Almost certainly there will be a hill or too but hopefully the sit-down-and-dig-in sort. Bring lights!

Might be there paul,not up for much though these days!!

enjoy the SW breeze due to gust at over 70 kph....

would love to join you Paul, but off to the west-country for a few days, will get some miles in on the moors (ready for the Gauntlet on Sunday?)..........nice to see you out and about though!

Well, I hate to admit defeat but my car nearly got blown off the A34 on the way to Andover this morning. Therefore it is extremely unlikely I will be found outside the George at 1830 tonight.

Pussy-cat. It's gales down here but still managed 37 miles in the winds and rain..............well it's either that or suffer from withdrawl!

I some how managed to put in 35 commuting miles today going from Portsmouth to Titchfield, Gosport, Havant and back to Portsmouth in the wind and the rain. The head-wind coming back home this evening really made me wish for gears on my commuter bike! Anyone out on their bike who didn't need to be today needs their head examined, if it hasn't blown away already.
