My trepidation (see last post) about this week's challenges proved unfounded...
Starting on Sunday with a very challenging 64.5 mile Evans Ride-It event, through to Tuesday's freezing cold outing and Wednesday's Etape pt II (which was hugely enjoyable - good hills, new top speeds for me and Jared (51.7 and 51.4mph respectively!), drafting with Ollie over the last few miles - and a high-speed ride in this morning (world record attempt spoiled only by a slow truck stuck behind a slow cyclist for a mile :( ), I've covered a total of 174 miles and climbed 4400 feet since Sunday morning, and I feel great right now!!
I'm finally starting to feel confident about the C2C, and am looking forward to it with great anticipation!!!
btw. Ollie, I think your GPS thing overestimates climbing - you're getting a lot more than MapMyRide reckons. I think you mentioned 2300' at some point yesterday, but MapMyRide only gives yesterday's route 1552' of climbing.
ReplyDeletemmm dodgy gps or dodgy mapmyride!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that mapmyride is considerably lower than sports-tracker when it comes to total gain ....
