A Beautiful morning to be out on the bike, one of those days when you just want to stay out forever !
Last night I joined Hilary for a trip to the gym at Churchill Sports Centre where I work, managed to get 20 minutes steady pace in the pool before the swim club started. I then did a short rowing session on the Concept II ( 8 x 500m with 50 sec rest between each set, averaging 1:58 for each 500 ).
This morning I awoke to brilliant sunshine so I just had to get out on the bike. Rode my Giant Bowery Fixey over one of my regular training routes, this one is flat but as it takes you over the open peat moors you can guarantee it will be windy at some point. Today I had a headwind out then a great tailwind all the way home - if only it could always be like that !
So, solo ride 30 miles averaging just under 18mph - Happy with that !
The 30 mile route :
Bleadon to Lympsham via Accomodation Road. Past the church and onto Brent Knoll. Cross the A370 and straight down to Mark Causeway. Straight over and onto the moors towards Burtle. From Burtle to Westhay. Turn left towards Wedmore but then turn left again onto Totney Drove which takes you to Mark via Tadham Moor. Left after Mark Church then turn right at the White Horse pub onto Vole Road which brings you onto the A38 at Rooks Bridge. Over the A38 towards Edingworth cross the M5 then right towards Loxton. Turn left towards Bleadon and a nasty little climb before dropping into the village and the start of the ride.
