Cycle around the Shore

The other day, the wife (Marlene) and I decided that we needed to branch further afield with our cycles. We bought them to use with the camper van, however, when we sold the van they sort of got left in the garage. With the enforced Lockdown, a perfect time to get them out and start enjoying, a, the cycles and b, the shoreline so close to us.

So off we set, up the main road towards Fareham and then a turnoff up to Cams Hall Golf Course. The cycle/walking track then heads off around the edges of the golf course, keeping to the shoreline.

It's more of an estuary than a shore,









but it's quite pretty and at just 5 miles, the right distance for us to start on. While I am quite used to riding longer distances, Marlene hasn't done more than a mile or two in the last year and needs to build up her strength. We've also discovered that she needs a more comfortable saddle. Hers is more suited to a racing bike rather than the genteel rides we do.

All in all it was a lovely ride, we took the cameras with us and managed a few nice shots as well as meeting similiar minded people along the way. Unfortuantely only able to nod and say hello but maybe when all this is over we can stop and chat more as we definitely intend to continue cycling. It's pleasant out in the fresh air, gets us fit and more interesting things to see.
