29 August. And again, the second ride of the day. This time to the local village fete. It couldn't possibly be more English, could it?

2016 : the year of cycling #90
29 August. This is the highest point hereabouts. I'll bring a picnic next time.

2016 : the year of cycling #89
27 August. My second ride of the day. Which helps to make up for a week of being too busy to cycle. And, as always, with essential cycling equipment.
2016 : the year of cycling #88
27 August. Two fat ladies (#88).
21 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #87
21 August. There's a very real sense this weekend that summer is drawing to a close. But this is part of my most regular route which will see me through the months ahead - and hopefully help me to achieve my year-end mileage target.
18 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #86
18 August. On hot days like today it pays to have a watering hole in your sights.
17 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #85
17 August. Took a trip down to Southampton today. It's mostly flat, which is a novelty.
16 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #84
16 August. The same spot as yesterday. But today I took a picnic.
15 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #83
15 August. I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. Oh yeah.
12 August 2016
2016 : the year of cycling #82
12 August. This is the first field I cross on my most regular route, just a couple of streets from home. But soon there will be 2,000 houses here. Perhaps they'll take all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
