Today's Ride

Went for a decent 50mile ride on the Orange today and picked a few hard hills to do. For anyone who lives in, or adjacent to, Dorset; the first one was the long drag from Fontmell Magna up to Ashmore. The first part up through Springhead is hard work, if you don't know it, and want to try it.

The second was the famous Zig Zag Hill which is a blast and here is a vid of someone driving up it, for those of you not in Dorset. The vid cuts out once they clear the forest but the road continues a gradual climb for a good while until you are at almost 280 meters, at a place called Win Green.


It is described as the bendiest road in england, but i don't know if that is true. Anyway...here is a poor phone pic from Win Green

Turned out quite warm and not a drop of rain :)
 
my better half said 'let's go riding!' who am I to decline her wish?

the altitude data is far from truth since this is almost a flat bicycle path along the river Duna (Donau), but the distance is correct.
