Sunday 17th April 2011 - Training Ride to Windsor

After meeting at Christchurch at 7am it was sad that after going to Tom's gaffe to wait for him to mend his front tyre it burst on Blacketts Wood Drive again and he retired from action.  The rest of us continued to Chalfont Common to Gerrards Cross to Slough to Windsor at reasonable pace.  With Andrew Morley, Adam Kirkham, Kevin Watson and Steve Bailey it was a good pace and we arrived in Windsor at around 8:30 for breakfast.  Alas the coffee shop where Adam's professional carrot cake testing friend (seriously) had told us served the best carrot cake in South England was closed and we went to Costa for a quick coffee before heading back.  It was a sunny morning and the weather was really warming up as we headed back through Datchet, Iver, Pinewood Studios and Fulmer before going into Gerrards Cross and Chalfont St Giles and home.  Quick pace and around 38 miles at 16 mph.
