Final Preparation


Today was my final proper training run, a non-stop 28 mile circuit around Poole Harbour. The route starts from Poole Quay, over Poole Bridge, up through Upton and around Hole's Bay before heading down to Corfe Castle via Wareham. From Corfe, the going gets a little tougher, basically a long climb on the road across to Studland (which killed my average speed which was, at that stage 15.6mph). From Studland, the Chain Ferry takes me over to Sandbanks and the circuit comes full circle via Baiter Park. Total ride time 1 Hour 56 Minutes.


I say "non-stop", this has two obvious exceptions, firstly the trip on the ferry and secondly a brief stop to take today's photo which is of a sign found on Nutcrack Lane running between Wareham and Corfe!!

I'll forgive the "if" instead of "of" but "get's" shouldn't have an apostrophe!!!
