Been tied up with one thing or another for the last couple of weeks so only just getting round to posting this. Joy wanted to go see her dad on fathers day 17th June so with it being a good 40 mile distance I decided to cycle to her parents place and meet her there.
It was a cracking morning with glorious sunshine and temperature around 15c so I head off on the route I had plotted into the satnav. This proved interesting for me as I know the roads for the first 8 miles (to Pirbright) but then had a complete unknown for 15 miles followed by sections of area which I vaguely knew so I enjoyed taking the scenery in.
All went well save for one glitch in Knaphill where I had unwittingly plotted going down a private unmade road so had to turn round and take a detour for a couple of miles.
I rode through Great Windsor Park
After lunch with Joy’s parents I did another 16 miles with Joys dad, Brian. Brian is a member of a cycle group, the Uxbridge Loiterers and does a ride every week with them so he took me out on a nice loop around some of the villages where they live. Joy and I lived down the hill from her parents for 8 years and I use to find going up the hill to be an absolute killer but the training certainly seems to be working as it was a breeze now.

Didn’t quite do the 60 miles I was hoping to cover in the day but still pleased.
