South Downs Way 100

Better up the pace a tad


Realising its getting a bit close, I need to get out for some longer rides. Somewhat limited by time & stuff on Sundays, I opted for usual route & hopefully putting in some laps. Getting a little creative again with the return leg, managed to avoid repeat of course & even got a nasty ascent into the equation. 32 miles & just over 2000 ft of climing. Bizarrely more decent was logged.

Our five year old has just got going on two wheels, and now there is no stopping him, other than the occasional inconvenient wall & hedge. A visit to local skate area was arranged, Saturday morning, so all the sk8r kds were still in bed. An area of around 30m x 30m with a half pipe, some ramps & obstacles to practice steering around. (Note to self, ramps lethal when wet). I followed him around on my bike, a sort of follow-the-leader incentive etc etc. Forgot GPS was still tracking. Kind of pretty, dont you think?
