70 miles on a beautiful day

Yesterday was time for the 'big one' - a 70-miler to prove that I'm capable of riding such a distance. It was a beautiful morning and I set out at 09.30, heading for East Harling and Redgrave in a big circuit.

Cottages in Half Moon Lane, Redgrave

Called in on friends in Redgrave, but they were out, so moved on to Wyverstone, where Sally Ruthen provided a welcome cup of coffee.
The whole trip took 6¼ hours (on the road), so I'm averaging about 11 miles per hour.
But I've got to do this every day!
