From Shroton to Sturminster Newton for coffee and then back for fish and chips at The Cricketers. A wet start to the ride with rain that stung your face and a headwind that was only evident on the more open stretches. Wore two pairs of gloves and had to wash the sandy soil off both bike and clothing when I got home. Cut apple tops for the donkeys. A dry end to the day with the promise of strong winds tomorrow.
