Much nicer than dodging the roadworks. Managed to get out fairly early and completed 64 miles in the New Forest, 3hours 44 minutes of cycling time. There were scores of ponies from the top of the hill at Bransgore onwards. I missed the turning that I wanted in Burley and ended up in Brockenhurst, but when you are surrounded by the wonderful countryside of the forest, it doesn't matter too much what routes you take.
I caught up with a group of three out for their training and they were going slowly so I went past them. This obviously woke them up and they went past me and into the distance. I'd done 45 miles by then, so wasn't too bothered.
And if you measure 64 miles in km, it is just over 100. So I'm feeling pretty pleased, if a little aching in the left knee.
