...ride, but how to start off is always the bit that confuses me, once that descision is made the rest of the route pretty much falls into place.
I've not done a longish ride in my local area for a while, all my 60 mile and above rides have been in Wales this year, so a nice local 80 mile loop is planned. But do I go out via Streatley Hill and have that evil little climb as my first climb within 4 miles of leaving home but giving quick and picturesque access to a nice South Downs loop. Maybe out via Henley and a hilly route out to West Wycombe, but I have to go down that road that I got hit by a car last summer, and although not really injured that much, I get a bit of a feeling of strees when planning it into a ride, so tend to often avoid it now...
I reckon it's the HellFire cave loop for me tomorrow, can't wait....
he's 70 miles away in bishop's waltham so just about right for a hard ride for me![1](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/1.gif)
if only i didn't have to test that ridgeback solo...![19](https://cdn.road.cc/sites/all/modules/contrib/smiley/packs/smilies/19.gif)
