The ride today over the back roads around Winchester started well with a hawk hovering motionless above the road. And got better from there, what I day to be alive and out on your bike!

The front gate of St Andrew's church, Chilcomb. Close by the start of the South Downs Way and on the route of King Alfred's Way, I believe.

A 20 mile shakedown ride on the Rockhopper, upgraded with some LX/Deore from the parts bin. Just the right weather, a bit of breeze too.

Got about 30 miles in today. It was tough going, very windy and not ideal for the first ride in 3 months. Met up with my sister who done most of the miles with me. We made a pit stop at Stratford on the way to mums.

Panes Con Pollo (Salvadoran - best chix sammich ever) and just started an afternoon ride with my son. Endless energy that kid is, we ride to a park, he plays, we ride to another park, he plays, we ride back to the first park, he plays, we ride home, he asks to go again.

The goofy kid put on a show with a loose ball and the locals invited him into a game (yellow shirt).

No fear - he tries to cover the big guys

Tacos on the way home

Not a bad commute

Today's ride was a shakedown for the 91 Cindercone over the sunken lanes that form the Winchester end of the pilgrim route connecting its cathedral to that of Salisbury 26 miles away.
PS. I did not go all the way!!!!

It has been a long long time since I have posted on this thread, or rode a bike even, I'm sure I didn't ride at all last year due to various things getting in the way, and it was looking the same this year. But with the help of everyone that posts on here, which motivated me enough to put everything else on hold for a moment and just get out, I managed a quick loop around the fields at the back of mine.

The weather is perfect, has been for a while, the ground hard and rolling fast, the loop seemed a lot quicker than I rememberd it being. Still, feeling a lot better now, and hopefully the start of me getting out again a bit more often
