Faccombe Haul Route - 100km

LEE, Mercury, Richard and I did the Faccombe Haul route on Sunday 15th. Its a hilly ride of 100km. The weather was looking favourable, but there was a lot of residual snow on the ridge, making cycling very difficult at times.

It is an absolutely georgeous route, like all hilly routes tend to be. But this time, I didn't enjoy it so much. I really, really struggled. It seemed I had no strength. Fortunately, Mercury and LEE were there to keep me going.

Saw a barn owl and heard lots of buzzards.



A theme of snow ...

I can only claim to have cycled some of the way round with you. It was a good ride though and I enjoyed it. Thanks for arranging it and I look forward to another ride with you in the Summer. Richard
