Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Octet]

Just done a ride up to the Inert Waste facility (no idea why I decided to head up there but I did) making 20 miles in total and averaging 20 MPH (I like it when the sums are easy ).
I'm about to do another 20 miles after lunch, heading into the main town and then along past the airport which should bring me up to just over 100 miles on my new bike in 11 days.

Sixty nine and a half miles to Howden and back booked out as a DIY 100km audax. The ride was over distance but I managed to dip under the five hour mark. The outward leg was done at an average speed of 16.5mph and the average speed dipped below 16 mph at fifty miles. Overall average speed 14.8 mph. There was nothing of note to report.

I'm happy with that.

Not today but yesterday - my longest ride so far - 202km up to the vale of Belvoir, down via rutland water to harringworth, back via Hallaton and Wistow. Been drinking like a fish since, rather dehydrated!

Yesterday, Sunday went my favourite route to Woodborough garden centre. 50mls. at avg. 14.5mph. Both 750 bottles ZipV1 near dry at WGC, both refilled with ZipV1 and bone dry 3mls from home. They refill my bottles no problem and I take the powders to add at the coffee stop, but I've yet to see others do it. Pleased with average as last time out a couple of weeks ago it was 14.2, so must be doing something right.

Last night I went out for twenty miles with a couple of fixie friends, they told me two more people would be along who were friends of theirs who have just bought bikes. I was a bit tired after the mileage I'd put in over the last few days do had reservations.

The two new friends turned up, one on a Ribble the other on a Felt. They're at least ten years younger than me and cycled with the enthusiasm of new cyclists with their first road bikes. It was awesome! I loved the fact that they were so damned gung-ho but were very road savvy.

Routine thirty miler made more interesting by getting totally soaked. May as well been swimming!
But seven miles from home met up with a guy working in my village just behind our house. Last two miles is a climb to the village and whilst I'm killing myself and increasing my max heartrate...he's looking like he's hardly trying! I've got a long way to go before I can match that. Although he had a very nice bike. First time I've rode with anyone other than my son and quite enjoyed it!
