If your ancestry is from England then there is a chance that Stonehenge was part of your forefathers---Except

The Romans came to England about 2050 years ago and the soldiers were from all over Europe- Romans left and we were invaded by the Saxons so plenty of Swedish- Danish and Germanic blood within them.

So not much chance of my ancestors being around at the time Stonehenge was built and if they were- they were probably killed off by all these foreigners.

On the ride--weather looks as though it could improve next week so will be trying for the first ride then. Route planned is a flat one across the marshes and a decent cafe at the halfway point. Then after that it will be a gradual build up till the end of March when there is a Metric century locally that does not take in too many hills. Month later and another metric that should kill some of their enthusiasm.

With the limited riding I have done in the last year- I had btter get training.
