Reason being I would be into a head wind all the way to Largo and have a nice tail wind all the way back with no plans to ride particularly hard. Well being the numpty that I am that kinda went out the window. Sure the ride to Largo was a pain against the wind but I thought I would have an easy ride home. Oh no, idiot me saw a couple of riders up front on the homeward leg and though &#8220;i&#8217;ll use them as a pace setter&#8221; <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-happy\"><\/span> Not the smartest idea as I soon found out, they were going pretty fast but like a bull to a red flag I just went for it <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-grin\"><\/span> and Christ do my legs know about it, they got a little painful just as I was reaching Dalgety Bay. To put that into perspective I have the Garmin set to do 5 miles laps so the first 5 laps were an avg of 20 mins at an avg speed of 13 mpg. The next 5 laps were avg 16 min at an avg of 17 mph, thats a big jump for me <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-surprised\"><\/span> Suffice to say for the climb back up to Crossgates I just took my time. That climb on a good day I can do in under 11 mins, today I took nearly 16 min <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-grin\"><\/span> So 53 miles clocked up at an avg speed of 15.6 mph, not bad when I think about it but I&#8217;m going to feel that on tomorrows ride <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-grin\"><\/span> <\/p> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <p> Ride 18\/04\/2020 So todays plan was to ride to Largo, just over 20 miles away, turn around and ride back.
