Friday 29th June - Monday 2nd July: This was going to be another weekend where I rode for 4 consecutive days. So I started off at work on Friday lunchtime with a 25 mile ride out to Shotley and Holbrook and then around Alton Water. It was great fun coming back to work down Freston Hill with the wind behind me and reaching a top speed of 37MPH! moving up to 3rd overall on the Freston Hill sprint.
Saturday morning and I got up reasonably early for a 40 mile ride up through Hempnall to Trowse then down towards Loddon. Unfortunately the heavens opened about 6 miles north of Loddon and I got soaked. Still I got to Loddon and had a nice breakfast at Rosy Lee's cafe, a regular stopping place for all cyclists.
Sunday morning and I was off again this time a 35 mile ride up through Brooke to Loddon (stopping at Rosy Lee's again, this time for a bacon sandwich) and then back home using the scenic route.
For Monday evening I had a short 15mile route planned but by the time I got home, walked the dog and got ready it was raining and fairly windy. So it ended up being quite a difficult ride.
