21/08/2018 Attempt to ride to Sunningdale with Anett and Iren

Tuesday, August 21st, 2018

Went for a ride to Sunningdale with Anett and Iren, sadly destined not be completed 🙁

We rode along Christchurch Road to the A30 and turned left

We turned and ascended the hills but the battery on Anett’s bike give in

Being as it’s a heavy bike we turned back as reaching the town and then riding back would have been too much for her

So we rode back the way we had came down the A30 and along Christchurch Road
