After yesterdays enforced restday due to an uppitty van and late arrival home, I did a nice detour from the garage where I dropped the van late this afternoon. Decided I had enough, so rather tha ride into work for another hours work, I jus set off on a lovely easy ride into Llanthony Valley, over the Gospel Pass, into Hay on Wye, down the Golden Valley, Abbey Dore, Ewyas Harold and back to work to piuck up my rucksack woth house keys and jacket. The sun just set behind Hatterall Hill when I arrived, perfect! My new Garmin gives me stats: 2.48.30 hrs, 69.59 kms, 24.8 km/hr (influenced by the fact that I stopped for a chat, bringing the average speed down) I apparently burnt 767 calories, so defo need cake tonight and ascended 937 metres and descended 982. Avg HR 15 bpm... max speed 59.5 km/hr.
Not quite sure what I am going to do with all that data, sure it is good for something, but was disappointed to see that the steepest bit of Gospel Pass, which I always though was 25%, is only 21% :w00t:
