This was a nice ride. I found it on a CTC website so I thought I might scope it out. It's a very picturesque route with a couple of really good cafe stops in the village before you turn to head south.
Some of the hills I found a little hard going towards the end. It was also fairly warm and humid which didn't help. I am getting better at food and drink management but I've still got a little way to go.
On one of my rests I got interrupted by a military plane flying fairly low. Unfortunately I didn't get chance to photograph it quickly enough. You can see my effort below though.
It's such a nice area of the Forest and I'm aiming to do this ride again soon.

Nice one. Just one pointer on the food. Make sure you have something every hour! Either force yourself to stop or plan for on bike snacks. My go to hourly food is a fig roll and 3 jelly babies :D I also have gels in between.
ReplyDeleteI keep taking too much stuff, then eating it all! I now take less food, but I'm looking after myself _before_ I go out which seems to be more important. I take a banana and a packet of fruit pastels and maybe some Tracker bars depending on how far I'm going. Probably still too much, but I am bringing stuff home with me now.
