We have been talking for quite a while about doing a mini touring trip with Sophie. Just waiting for the right 3 day weekend to cycle to the New Forest.
I had ridden before from Brighton, but we thought it would be more pleasant to get the train and cycle from Chichester. The remainder of the way is another 80km. This makes for a pleasant day when you're on the bike, as you aren't trying to race against the clock to make it there. Including very generous brakes this took us 8 hours. Once you get 5k out of Chichester all the way to 5k close to Southampton it's a beautiful ride. Going to the new forest through Southampton is not the best of ideas though, and next time we will take 2 days to get there through the Isle of Wight.
