Hampshire Loop :: Day 1 :: Aldershot to Rake

It was months ago that Alan and I first discussed doing a ride this weekend.
We discussed it, agreed it was a good idea and then did no more planning until the day before when we had a hasty zoom call to throw route ideas around.

I'm very pleased with how nice it turned out considering how little prep we did. Beautiful trails, passable weather and a nice pub dinner to round out the day.
