Crewkerne to Guildford 118 miles

Wednesday 3rd May, joined all the London commuters at Guildford station at seven am. Quite a contrast them in suits with briefcases and laptops, me in lycra shorts and a shorts sleeved lycra shirt pushing a bike.
Left Crewkerne on the A30 at ten, I had only gone ten miles when a motorist pointed out that one of my bottles behind the saddle had just fallen off, I went back for it, but despite frantic waving I could not stop a van from squishing it sending one litre of my life line to oblivion. I am not saying it was deliberate, but the driver was grinning manically.
Off I went again happy in the knowledge I was carrying 2.5 litres plus enough High5 4:1 powder to make another litre. Took this photo somewhere near Shaftesbury I think, it's of a chalk carving in the hillside. Also took this one of my bike, showing the missing bottle.
It was pretty uneventful journey, got a bit lost trying to skirt around Winchester, it was also at this point that I ran low on fluid, and did not come to a shop until Ropley. Other than that I made good time and arrived back at the car at the Samson Centre late afternoon. I mixed up my various recovery concoctions, Supradyn multi vitamin, High5 protein recovery and a banana and headed foe home.
Since I have been using the High5 protein recovery, it has made an astounding difference to how I feel after a long ride.
