Very moving

Hello folks. We are now on the 'other side' of the move, so a bit pooped, to be honest! Still, we are in even if up to our ears in boxes, yet again. I am going to write an autobiography just so I can entitle it 'My Life in Boxes'. I seem to have spent my entire adult life moving boxes. Anyways, it is kinda nice to be back in sunny Southwater. We have lived here several times over the past two decades so it feels like home. We miss our pals in Maplehurst but so far have managed to see one or all of them every day since we left! Mostly due to our dog having his best friend and soul mate still back there and they insist on seeing each other every day. Plus there is John's commitment to regular appearances at the 6 oclock club at the White Horse Vortex. Last night we had the excuse of a 'meeting' to discuss the next 4 weeks riding requirements. Oh my, have we got some treats in store. Back to back 60milers (on consecutive days), riding up Devils Dyke, just for starters. Even some mountain biking for variety.
So on to today's ride. I hadn't been out since last Wed. If you really want to know what we did then, please look at Beth's report for that date at http://www.le2jog.wordpress.com/ It was the day we moved and my mind is a blank. Though I do remember enjoying it! L(The ride, not the move!)
Beth and I met at our new meeting place on the A24 today at 7.15. Not quite as convenient as coming out of our respective doors and meeting on the path outside - a trip of ...oh.....20yards or so. Still it worked. We had a lovely ride. Not too hot today, no chain events, no parachute rolls (see Beth's blog). A very early, but no less welcome, stop for a Twirl at Storrington. Where we were joined by John who proceeded to get our average speed up to about 13 and a half for the ride.
So we did 46 miles and finished off at McDonalds before we parted company with Beth and wended our way back to Southwater.
