Rode up to Winchester from Portsmouth to join a Group Ride that went up around the Oxfordshire area and had a lot of fun on roads I'd never ridden before.
Fortunately, despite the forecast, there was almost no rain until the end of the return leg back to Winchester where we had a lot of that nasty fine, misty drizzle that isn't proper rain, but just hangs around and makes for miserable conditions
After we'd finished, I rode a few extra miles around Winchester to pick up a board game that someone was selling, but wasn't willing to post, which was convenient.
On the way back home, fortunately, the weather improved, but I noticed that, on the M27, the signs that used to say "Upgrading to Smart Motorway" had been edited and it now just says "Upgrading to [blank] motorway"!
Obviously someone's decided they weren't as "smart" as originally made out...
