Back to Windsor

Rich & Paul had planned a long ride for Saturday, so I decided to join them for the first 50 miles or so.

I wanted to be back around 10am, as Jules is helping the CHASE support team at the London Marathon tomorrow, so we wont get to spend much time this weekend otherwise.

Paul wanted to set of at 6am, so I headed out at 5:30 so I could get to his house by then. Finally I get the extra bonus miles before we meet!!

Once there, we quickly set out for Windsor & Rich's infamous 'loop' just to the west. We made pretty good time really, although Paul got another puncture next to Windsor Great Park which lost us a bit of time.

We managed to miss Rich somehow on his loop, but met him back at Fifield just up the road from where Paul had his puncture.

Although we had made good time getting up there, Rich set off at a much faster pace, and before we knew it we were almost back at Woking. Rich had a route in mind, and took us off to Pyrford and then on to East Horsley where I peeled off home, as time was getting on.

By the time I'd got home I'd done almost 70 miles by 10:15 in the morning!
