Ride 06\/01\/2024 Pt2<\/a><\/em> <\/p> \n

So with only 4% battery life left in my Garmin I started a new ride expecting it to flatten the battery long before I got home. The group split at this point with 5 of us doing a slightly longer route up over Knockhill, the way I went, and the rest going via Saline. We took the road to Yett’s thinking this would be the best route to take avoiding any icy back roads that we would take on the normal route back home. This also allowed us to ride a bit faster and for me to actually get hot, as I hadn’t up to this point, so no cold toes on this ride <\/span> Findlay lead half way up Knockhill and I lead the rest, it was nice to be able to put a bit of effort in to stay warm before the drop down into Dunfermline. Normally I would try to ride 50 miles on the bun run but since I had split the ride due to the battery I actually didn’t know what distance I was going to get, and I was expecting the Garmin to go flat before home. Much to my amazement, with only 4% battery left the Garmin actually made it all the way home <\/span> astonishing, I really didn’t expect that to happen, I got another hour and half out of the battery and I don’t know what it was at when I got home, I just told it to save the ride as quickly as possible, just in case I lose it, and then shut it down. So in the end I was just shy of 49 miles, lol had I known that I might have pressed on for the 50 miles chancing my luck on the Garmin’s battery. Anyway I clocked up the 49 miles at an avg speed of 16 mph, which isn’t too bad for a frosty day like today <\/span> <\/p> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
