    I am back! And very excited about adventuring once again,
    This one was a quick escape after work at 4.30pm and rode 50miles to camp in the Chilterns. The second day I rode the Ridgeway along to Tring and then the canal back into London.
    Felt so good to be out and seizing opportunities once again, and promise many more adventures are on their way.

      @@barrygodin7538Hi Barry. As we haven't camped in years, we have only had a trial camp in the garden so far. We still loaded the bikes with camping gear and went for a bike ride, returning home to set up camp. We both enjoyed it. For those new to it all, I do recommend trying it like that, as we did forget a few things. Have got a few short trips planned when we feel safer going to camp sites.

    Nice one Barry that looked a really great ride ! , I literally just done A part of King Alfreds Way this week Winchester to Reading 100mikes in 3 days which was great for me with a cheeky wildcamp and a travelodge 🤣. Gonna regroup and do the remaining section in July the Ridgeway is a part of the route it looks great on your vid , looking forward to seeing it in the Summer 👍🙂🤪

      Ahh brilliant, yes I am still to ride the King alfreds way since it has been named, have ridden most of it before that. But on my list, hope you had a good trip! Brilliant idea to do a wild camp and a one night indoors, takes a lot of pressure off. Yeah ridgeway is a good pedal, nice views!
