My longest cycle ride ever and, even though the weather wasn't as forecast for the first day of half term week, the drizzle and rain for the last 7 miles didn't really bother me because I enjoyed it all so much. A shame that Stan's Cycle Shack wasn't open for our planned lunchtime stop at Partridge Green, but a tcheePOT leh and spicy bean wrap at Ashington was just the ticket. Big thanks to Simon for getting me to believe I could do this.

Lovely day and I haven't been to the river for such a long time so did a short walk from Mum's house across fields to Guildenhurst down to the river, along to Lordings Lock, Great Lordings Wood and back up the by-pass path to Mum's. Still a bit flooded in places by the river and some paths were grossly muddy. Warm enough for one layer only on top though.
