In under a week, my plans for New Forest have changed half a dozen times. Here they are:
- Mid last week :)
- Going for the sportive in beautiful New Forest, on Sunday morning.
- Late last week :(
- Earliest train reaches only 4 mins before start, so no point going.
- Saturday evening :)
- Sportive cancelled due to flooding. Glad for money saved, and now I can plan for next time.
- Saturday night :(
- Sportive now scheduled the day before only other sportive I’m riding this year. Which one to skip?
- Monday morning :)
- Having passed the driving test, making plans to hire a car and take partner and dog down to New Forest for whole sportive weekend.
- Monday night :(
- Read road.cc report on sabotage of sportive, and heckling of cyclists in New Forest. Plans cancelled. Not going there ever again.
- Tuesday morning :)
- Screw New Forest vigilantes. I’ll just save money and head back up to Lake District or Scotland!
