Windsor Castle….
Well, that was a nice ride today, Mostly flat, open quiet roads all the way to the outskirts of Windsor. Then you do battle with what must be the most arrogant drivers in the world, into the centre of Windsor for a quick circuit round the town and the castle and retrace my route back.
It’s a good top of zone 2 workout, you can keep a good rhythm and push fairly hard for 3.5 hours.
I don’t think I’ve ever made it the couple of miles from the outskirts to the castle without one of the ludicrous drivers trying to push me into the kerb or generally attempt to run me off the road. I have had a few good moments when I’ve caught up with them at the next set of lights, and explained the finer points of driver etiquette to them. They generally listen quietly as they realise I appear to be quite irritated.
