What a ride today! Very enjoyable but very challenging once I got to Netherton. You'll see from the terrain that there is a killer hill on the way out of Netherton on the road to Alwinton. I had to coerce my way to the top by talking to myself. "Nearly to the top ..... well almost ..... a little further ..... keep going!" BUT when I did get to the top (well, before the next hill), the head wind was unbelievable! It was such hard going from then on to Alwinton due the head wind. Even going down hill I had to pedal!!!!
I am pleased with the result though. Despite the hills, an average of nearly 10 miles an hour is ok by my standards. When I got to the end of the ride, I wasn't especially tired and I really do feel that training is paying off ..... Thanks Chris at the gym for my training plan!
Next time -28 mile circular route from Clennell Hall
