Bet that was nice. I did some miles with a friend too this morning, he's not been out much this year so struggled on a couple of the climbs. He did 60 miles, which I top and tailed to make a round 100. Lovely morning for it, dry and lighter winds than forecast. Some of the lanes were full of gravel and other debris from yesterday's very heavy showers.
Included some trespassing in the Sutton Hoo Estate. Sodding cheek annexing countryside for golfers, spa-ites, snooty hotel guests and shooting if you ask me. A guy in estate insignia chased us in his van and tried to make us go back the way we came (our way out on the route I'd planned was blocked by a locked, barbed wired gate, so we scaled a couple of 'private' fences to get to a different path). Managed to prevail upon him to open the gate for us
...so all good in the end. My mate was not impressed with my less than rigorous approach to route planning and lack of willingness to cede to authority
It's lady lingo for a day spent feeling meh due to issues you gentlemen don't have to contend with.
