| FIONA OUT IN THE SPRING SUNSHINE |
It dawned on me this morning that I should get the Felt out and use her for today's sixty mile dash......
This is the earliest in the year that I have brought her out of hibernation. The weather has been so good with no rain for ages that she was crying out for a ride.
Some days you can have a good ride and on other days you can have a great ride.......well today was a bloody marvellous ride and to top it all I even completed the loop in the fastest time that I have ever done it .....and it felt good.

| THE WORST VIEW OF CORFE CASTLE |
The first shot is of Fiona next to a small duck pond that is opposite a farmhouse that I passed.
The shot above is of Corfe castle and it is probably the worst direction to take a picture of it, but I had no inclination to go to the other side of the castle for the better view.
When your heading for a good training time, you don't want to spoil it by losing too much of that time taking pictures.
I am hoping that the good weather continues, because on Friday I am planning on attending a Backpackers Club weekend backpack.
I actually intend to do some walking this time rather than using my touring bike.
I haven't been on a backpack since before my cancer diagnosis so I am really looking forward to it.
When I get back on Sunday night I hope to be able to post up some photos with a report on how it all went.....

Thanks for the post
Carpe diem!
I couldn't help but think of all the folks over the ages who thought about attacking that castle and probably agreed with you.
About that not being a very nice view I mean.

Yes...she does look a bit of a calendar girl...!!!
*anniebikes*
That is so true...

Yes...it is almost impossible to walk up to the castle from this side as it is so steep.
Anyone trying to stage an attack would just be sitting targets.
Sounds like good times, good for you
This weekend last year I was camping at Corfe Castle. I really must get out with the backpackers again soon - just so much to do.
