Well, as planned, had a run out this morning in the lovely countryside.
Left Milton Keynes at around 9.10 in a very drizzly condition so had my jacket on. Headed out old A5 to Stony Stratford and then on to main A5 up through Towcester and Weedon till taking right turn to West Haddon. Pre-picked a route of about 10 villages and back to Northampton.
Another first for me as I had zero refuelling stops. Ensured well stocked up with energy gels / bars and drinks. Stopped once to take off jacket and then every 3rd village to get the next 3. Full refuelling on the run. Odd experience but it is possible.
Total today at 61 miles in 3 hrs 24 mins. Total time door to door, 3 hrs 33 mins. Ave at 17.4 mph.
Managed to miss all rain apart from MK end and a short spell on A5.
Amazingly I thought it was flat round here but definitely not. However, some beautiful villages visited (briefly). Will submit full route when I get to a PC.
Cheers
Hindo.
