With all the rain over the last god-knows-how-long, my Saturday football match was cancelled at 10.30am on Saturday morning, so it was a great opportunity to get in a long ride on fresh legs. Within the hour i was on the way out to Dorking and Box Hill in what was a necessary 100km ride. (I am still riding in my leg thermals, winter gloves and a few layers on top, and the forecast for the whole day was for more rain...) Fortunately the skies held on the 3hr 40 minute ride, the best news being i felt incredibly strong. The only slight downer of the day was the fact that i hadn't charged my Garmin bike computer, so the battery died after the first 1hr 44 mins... However details of the ride up to that point are here : "Training ride"
A quick 15 minute stop at the top of box hill for a hot chocolate, a flapjack and a bottle of water. Rejuvenated me for sure.. the second half of the ride much quicker than the first.. shame i dont have the actual data!
