Roger Key check in – Today was the second of my semi-major marathons!! Well it seemed like it to me anyway – 21 miles along the coast to Lee on Solent. It was a fairly nice day for cycling although a bit of a strong south-easterly. I cycled down through Hook village and Browndown Lake to Meon Shore. Then past Meon nature reserve and round the back of Hill Head to Stubbington Village. From here I cycled past Daedalus airfield and into Lee. The return journey, after a buger at the Shack, was back through Hill Head and Meon Shore and up the long lane to Tichfield. Then from there into Titchfield Common and Park Gate and down the hill (thankfully) into Warsash.
The statistics:-
Miles – 21
Time – 1:50
Average Speed – 11.3
Max Speed – 27 (downhill with the wind behind me!)
Knees – intact
Muscles – aching
Bottom – No Comment!
Next week its Stokes Bay – weather permitting
