I did the weekly shop with wifey and had brunch out...
By the time we got back home the rain had stopped so I got changed and went for a little cycle ride :-)
I headed out to Headington then Stockley...It almost felt like summer is back....having been cycling in minus temperatures for so long the positive almost double figures was nearly tropical.
As I headed up (The Steep Hill) past the North Wilts Golf Club I headed into very dense fog that I stayed in over the whole of the Marlborough Downs...
There's normally a fantastic view from the top of Hackpen Hill....but as you can see...there wasn't today :-(
When I dropped back of the Downs into Broadtown I also dropped out of the fog :-) I headed back towards Tockenham then Dauntsey...The light was starting to fade but I thought I could squeeze in a few more miles by following the 10 mile TT route back through the Somerfords and Sutton Benger..
I ended up doing 58.11 miles in 3 hours 48 minutes with an average speed of 15.2 mph, route here...
After all of the miles I have done on the rollers I was actually starting to think I was turning into a high powered sprinter...but real road miles are tougher!

I couldn't see a thing in the fog last night.
If I put my lights on high and pointed them straight ahead all I could see was spots infront of my eyes.
If I turned the light to low and pointed it at the ground all I could see was a tiny circle a few meters inhead.
