Raya and me will be heading out for a 100km+ route around Winchester on Sat am. Although it means an 1hour train journey from Clapham Junction, the USP's are:
Low traffic
Nearly no suburbs
Fewer potholes
Gentle hills (TT bike friendly)
Even more genteel villages
WAITROSE farm shop tea rooms (an many more)!
We are aiming to get a bit of speed on, say 25km/h, perhaps faster. If we are enough people, we can split up a bit. This is meant to be an enjoyable but focused training ride.
Train at Clapham Junction sometime between 8 and 9 for now, I'll confirm. If we have enough riders, I can organise a group ticket.
