Today's Ride

Where is that ?

Its the cycle path which runs into Winchester from the south side. The motorway in the back is the M3

I thought it looked familiar but couldn't place it. I've driven it lots as I live in Dorset and have friends in Winchester.

I'll have to venture out that way !

Its quite a nice cycle route. I personally use this cycle path each side of my journey. When the weather is better, i can ride along the itchen navigation off road back to Southampton which is a welcomed change over commuting on the road most of the year!

Nice.

One of my plans when the spring arrives is to set of from where I live in Dorset, cycle towards Fordingbridge and through the New Forest and end up (somehow) in Southampton. Camping on the way overnight.

I may pick your brain for routes.

Sounds good. I've not done a multi-day trip before. I tend to grind it out for a long day instead but I would like to do a short tour. When my pipedream is built, i might also do something like that - maybe the king alfreds way over a couple of days

In hindsight no such a great idea and shoulda just gotten the train. The frame on the back stayed put for my 12 mile commute but I was paranoid the whole way that it'd flip off and get killed by a passing car

Chapeau to you sir !!

Just a roll to the next village for church but it's a dry day so the Stinson gets an outing.

Cool! I used to ride a red Raleigh Clubman around the Colchester area in 1993-94.

Snap! Out on my 1996 Stinson today too, although mine has few of its original parts attached at the moment. A great-riding bike.

A trip to the sea today. Sunny, but cold and windy. Still rebuilding fitness but I felt there was more mileage in the legs today than last weekend. Faster too.
