50km cycle ride round Test Valley. Very hilly, quite knackering really. Got up at 6.30am, and ignored the rain and just went for it.

Good ale in the pub afterwards (Dragon Slayer, 4.6% apv) and a roast beef baguette with cheesy chips.

thanks to

• robin and ali, for ignoring common sense and pandering to my stupid enthusiam
• the random bloke that gave us peanuts at the drink stop
• the couple trying to sell us disgusting energy drinks half way round, for the free samples
• the overly apologetic barman.

oh yes, my trendy new shorts make it look like I've wet myself, in case you're wondering what's going on down there.
