Night Ride - return from work - Ealing to Phoenix Green. 28th April

Ealing to Twickenham then Hampton Court - Walton - Weybridge - Addlestone - Chobham - Frimley - Farnborough - Fleet - Phoenix Green

42.04 miles Time 03:02 Pace 13.9mph


Planned this for a while. I knew the roads would be quiet from mid evening due Friday's big event and they were practically deserted. 
Work crew drinks after work. Good idea to have a couple of pints of dutch courage beforehand and also let the traffic die down. Bike behaved itself beautifully.


As it was dark there are no photos but here is the route taken.
