It was great to get out for a ride today! Firstly as I had the week off, secondly the weather was good, thirdly it was the maiden run on my newly built Roberts, and finally because for reason's I won't go into, it was the first time in nearly a week that I could go for a ride without too much discomfort.
So along a boring main road I went, through Arundel, then over the top of Whiteways and heading downhill again.
Taking it really easy with the gears to start with, plenty of time to blow out the cobwebs should I feel the need!
I was working out a new route, some of it new to me, for a retro ride coming up. I was liking the mainly single track roads, along the bottom of the Downs.
Heading through Watersfield, and onward towards Amberley, and a cafe stop. Oh no! Sadly they were closed! :shock:
Came up with a plan B, only a couple of miles away. Refreshments at last.
cool bike, great colour ... almost (if not) gios blue
Some lovely lanes down there. We stayed just outside Arundel when the tour came to brighton and rode from Arundel to brighton & back. Was a bit cooked that day.
