Went out for a lazy morning ride on the cyclocross bike

Rode up Hanger Hill and then down Heath Road before turning to pass the Queens Head

Picked up the towpath and rode towards New Haw past Cox’s Lock

Here I surprised by the sight of Heron just standing there in the water, shortly after another flew overhead 🙂

The views as I rode along were wonderful and relaxing

After reaching New Haw I rode on past the anchor and reached the ruins of Newark Priory

I crossed the road and carried on past Send and on to the edge of Sutton Place where the surface was a swine to ride – sand on compacted dried mud – slippery as hell

Looking at the clouds and the time I decided to about turn and ride back

This time I joined the road by the Priory and rode past Pyrford, Woking, and West Byfleet to reach Byfleet

Here I turned towards Tescos but rode through the Heights to the Brooklands Road

Now I rode up to the station and then returned home down Hanger Hill

Here’s one last final picture of the towpath

I am now recording my rides with MapMyRide – here is today’s ride.
