The gym is good and I feel the benefit of spending time there. But you can't beat getting on the road on a sunny Saturday. And, fortunately, we have had a run of good weather on the past few weekends. This weekend was no exception so following two Saturdays at 30 miles and one at 35, it was good to get in the first 40 miles nailed yesterday. This is a lovely part of the world and you don't have to go too far to find good views without leaving the boundaries of Poole and Bournemouth. There are some testing little hills as well which serve as a gentle warm up for what lies ahead next month. So a trip round Sandbanks, along to Hengistbury Head and them back along moreorless the same route brings up the 40 miles. Mileage is gradually building up and I've just been persuaded (didn't take too much) to sign up for the IOW Ferry 100 arranged through Wiggle. That will be pretty hilly in the middle section the other side of the Solent. Got until 7th July to be ready for it.
