Preview: White Horse - 27 Apr

Next weekend marks the start of 9 big sportives/rides in a row. Two months to get in shape for the Etape!!! Oh dear!.

The White Horse Challenge is a 150km loop around Swindon. It's a tour of big chalk drawings of horses in the hills ... something to look at while I suffer.

At 1400m, it's hilly, but not too harsh. Should be a quick route if the weather's good, so I'll be aiming to break 7h00.

Fairly standard week. Medium length ride in the Chilterns, plus plenty of smaller rides.

Chilterns - 5 Apr

Should have been a good day, but a few punctures in the group, some wrong turns and heavy showers cut the ride short.
