A quick ride into Southampton today to meet David to go through the possible itinerary for our trip to Morocco in April. The ride in was fine and dry and a little gusty but the ride home was Crap... oh how I hate high cross winds... especially gusting winds of 50mph plus. I tried to keep off the M27 and A31 as they are quite exposed in places, so I took the forest route via Brook but I forgot that it is even more exposed over the heath by the High Corner Inn. I did not enjoy that at all but at least there was not much traffic on that route.
It reminded me of scary myself fartless riding through Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle last year..
