Not liking leaving my 50k rides to the last day, and with Mrs SnG a bit busy today, I managed to get April’s ride in early.
32 miles, Bognor, Chichester, Lavant, West Stoke, Funtington, Hambrook, Bosham, Chichester, Merton, Bognor.It was windy at times, and cold most of the ride, but it’s done, the pressure is off for the rest of the month, and I’m on 4 points!.

April 9th - 52.5km clockwise loop to Westerfield & back as a 2 hour escape from the blanket news coverage of todays events, https://www.strava.com/activities/5096723626
Apart from the amusement I get from seeing how close you sometimes get to my home, the thing that impresses me from your Strava uploads is how you can negotiate long stretches of town road infrastructure and still get back home in under two hours! :becool:
I dream of doing that! ^_^
