Ride 14/07/2012 Falkirk to St Andrews by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Another wet dull day but I managed to ride to St Andrews and back clocking up 120 miles today. Very tired now.

Another dull wet day, so I didn’t want to ride too far. Rode up and around the Ochil hills.

Ride 30/06/2012 Falkirk to Lanark by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Wet, hilly and ridiculously windy! All in all bad weather day and bad distance day.

Ride 24/06/2012 Falkirk to Dundee by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

So when I planned this ride the garmin said Falkirk to Dundee was 53 miles, so I thought 106, that’s possible. 4.5 hours and 60 miles! later I get to Dundee, 53 miles my backside >:-(. There was no way I would be able to get back to Falkirk, riding against the wind without killing myself. So I caught a train to Kirkcaldy and rode from there. 103 miles racked up, the furthest I’ve ever ridden my bike

Ride 09/06/2012 by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Didn’t ride too far today as I had to go to my mum’s 60th birthday party.

Falkirk to Edinburgh via Canal by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Rode to Edinburgh and back via the Canal.

Ride 26/05/2012 Falkirk to Perth by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

So it’s a nice sunny day and I think I will ride to Perth today.

Cycle stats – 93 miles covered, cycle time 11 hours, 8 of which I’m actually pedalling, 5400 feet of hills climbed :-0

Sunburn stats – right arm fucking cremated and HURTS!!! left arm not burnt, left leg not burnt, right leg fine bar the back of my knee brunt, but not badly, right ankle brunt, but not badly, back of neck burnt quite badly but not in much pain.

Did I use sun block HELL YEAH factor 30! will use factor 60 next time if it exists. I think my arm got it because the sun was on it constantly for 11 hours. Sun on my right on the way to Perth, sun on my right going back home :’-( need to monitor the suns progress and take appropriate action.

Needed to do a little work in the office so decided to ride there and go around the forth anti-clockwise in the process.

Another ridiculous hilly long distance ride over the Ochils to Crieff and back but the interesting part is by dropping my average speed by 1 mph, from 12 to 11 I’ve managed to do 82 miles. It definitely pays to ride slow my average heart rate has dropped to 150 bpm instead of the usual 160/170 bpm, which in turn reduces the calories I’m burning and thus I can ride further But the most important part is I don’t feel like shite and my legs don’t hurt, although I have a slightly sore bum and my neck was nipping something stupid, but I was riding over 9 hours, and the more I ride the more I learn.

Looped around the forth going the Stirling way.

Ride 21/04/2012 by scotlund@blueyonder.co.uk at Garmin Connect – Details.

Due to the Met office weather warning I decided to ride fairly close to home, I didn’t want to get stuck in a storm 35 miles from home. Started 09:47 in the morning but didn’t finish till about 20:00, but didn’t get many miles done just to stopping for the rain and for food. Suffice to say my bum is sore!

Well the plan was to ride to Perth today but unbeknown to me the Garmin decided to take me on a 50 mile detour >:-( After riding 20 miles I see a sign that says Perth 33 miles away and I wonder WTF! I check the Garmin and after much swearing I abandoned the ride, I’m not ready to do a 100 mile ride yet. Rode to Edinburgh instead and back home. This is what I get for not programming the Garmin before hand which is what I would normally do for a ride, but I didn’t think the satnav was that bad!
