Over the Hills.............Alresford and back - 7th September 2011

Circular to Alresford - via Crondall, Froyle, Farringdon, Ropley, Preston Candover, Axford, Herriard, Upton Grey, Odiham & Winchfield  

54.15 miles
Time 3:25
15.9mph Av pace
 
Over the hills.....and there were plenty of 'em! Lovely ride . Had this pretty much mapped out in my mind, as I had done bits of it before but never as one whole route. Really breezy up there on the hills - into a head wind for pretty much all of the first 25 miles down to Alresford. Helped on the way back though!

Upper Froyle

Wyck - Looking East

Hedge Art - Farringdon
Road through Beech Woods - South of Ropley


Ropley Church
Stopped here to take a pic and didn't get the left cleat out of the pedal..........almost in slow motion I tipped over onto my hand and was rather embarrassed to have to ask a lady to pull me up and hold onto the bike while I released my foot!! Doh, It's gonna happen sometimes!

Coming into Alresford
Church at Old Alresford

Preston Candover

With lots of flats and downhills and an assisting wind. the return was pretty quick.
