Back home now with 42 miles behind me so quite pleased seeing as I've only really started riding regularly again 3-4 weeks ago.
Some scary moments on the A46 near Evesham with some commercial vehicles getting very close..one which I reported to the company as it was liveried....come to think of it, all the 'moments' I had today were with commercials. Just an impatient bunch who can't wait for a safe gap to open to get past :sad:

Well done :bravo:. Plenty of driving like that on A Roads unfortunately. From a quick scan you could have went by Wincombe, Broadway, Chipping Campden, Long Marsdon to Stratfod upon Avon and enjoyed your ride more, it may actually be shorter too :thumbsup:

I'd have done my century if I'd made it to Stratford and back

The route I took was Cleeve, Gotherington, Prescott Hill, Gretton, Winchcombe, Toddington and Broadway, I will next time miss out Gotherington, and Prescott Hill and instead ride up to Teddington Hands and then to Toddington on the B4066, as it is a proper hill and knocked the stuffing out of me a bit before I got any real miles before me.

Strava packed up when I stopped to take this pic :sad: ....but I still have the pic to prove I got there ;)
I realised I would come up short on the way back so I tootled up to the far side of Cheltenham to hit the target (well past the 40 mile mark). I clocked 42 on the bikes trip computer.

Well I may be pushing it too far but a flattish charity 100 has appeared this weekend and I'm free ..... So I'm going to try the extra 30 to pop my 100 cherry this week not next year
