Had a lie in and didn't get out till 9am. Did a 50/50 ride on the Road bike- Should have got a Cyclocross but this does well enough. 15 miles to Breakfast up a hill called the "High and Over". Just as nasty as it sounds- 20% average for 1 mile with the 25% bit about 200yards in. Last did it about 3 years ago on the Tandem and it has never been easy. Easier this morning on those skinny tyres and 30/26 gearing though. (Remember when I got the Road bike I said I wanted a triple?) Then breakfast- Sausage egg bacon mushrooms and Tomatoes -- with plenty of coffee and Toast and preserves.

We were then in Friston Forest So started on a forest road but turned off onto an offroad trail. Bone dry but I do want a lower gear for them hills. I had to keep the speed down on the downhills- due to my body and the road wheels, but it acted remarkably well. After about 10 miles of this- back on the road for 5 miles of MUP home and That is why I can post so early. 30 miles with hills and offroad at an average of 12.5 mph.
