It was closed as a trial for 2 years, about a year ago, because the junction where the blocks are has been the scene of some nasty accidents. It's a fairly narrow country lane and has become really nice to cycle or walk down. Even seen a few horses and buggies down there. Only a few miles long, but nice to simply go up and down and smell the cow poo....Has it's own strava segment.
I saw that sometime ago, there's a similar one where the presenter continually punctuates his sentences with the ring on a bicycle bell. Annoying tw@t....
Away on hols, wife and daughter having their nails done at the hottest part of the day so I went to the Air conditioned gym. Probably only the second time ever in a gym and on an exercise bike in 48 years. Boring stuff but it passed a couple of hours
you did well if the heat was anything like here. Not a lot wrong with your heart, what av. speed Gary roughly?
I'm bloody slow mate....I'm built for distance not sprinting.... 13mph is typical for my rides at around 50 - 100 miles distance.
Iirc you are covered by your household insurance for your pusho related prangs, you can gain automatic insurance on becoming a member of British cycling
