Was up early yesterday morning to finish some washing-up that I hadn't done on Sunday night. Standing at the sink I can see the developing sunrise, and the colours were rather nice.
This was the day a new access road to RHS Wisley was going to open, a key milestone in the M25/A3 J10 improvement works. It was bloomin' cold out though, so I didn't go out until lunchtime when temperatures were just into double figures (Kelvins?). My newest fleecy-lined winter jersey was pretty good, but the ride back was down to 8 or 9 C; I could have done with a jacket.
Riding to Wisley this year has meant riding on the A3; think of riding through motorway roadworks and you've got the ride image. The new access road does away with that as there's now a new road bridge over the A3; with a nice wide cyclepath alongside too. Well I think it's a cyclepath, it wasn't signposted.
Later on, ANOTHER bridge is being added over the top of the A3. That's a 25m wide wildlife corridor or 'garden bridge' dedicated to horse riders, cyclists and peds only. That'll be great.
Anyway, a lovely ride of about 30km.
How much?
