The other two had (drinking) commitments this weekend and I had struggled with the distance last week, so I thought I'd better get some miles in and catch up. I have difficulty navigating home from next door, so I made it easy by setting a 25 mile loop around Lyndhurst, Lymington, Bucklers Hard and Beaulieu using Gmaps Pedometer. The plan: do four loops on Saturday and four on Sunday for about 120 miles a day.
Rich's stats for the weekend:
Total distance/time: 247 miles, 16hrs 15 mins
Lost: 8 times doing laps, 7 extra miles
Friends: zero (awah!)
Animals on road: 11 donkeys, 7 cows, 4 pheasants, 9 rabbits; I had no friends to chat with so I counted animals!
FA cup finals missed: one
Embarrasing falls with foot stuck in pedal next to a crowded bus: one
Pedal clips tension reduced: one, but too late
Disgruntled girlfriends: one--see total time
Amount spent on dinner on Sunday to make up: 92.61 GPB
A good weekend cycling, and good distance, but it's more fun in a group!

Well done Rich a really great effort...Only falling off the once is unbelievable.
I'm sure you had more fun with the animals than we had watching the FA Cup final at any rate.
