Mr Garmin tells me I've ridden 248 miles in the last 28 days, which isn't that far behind you. The big difference, however, is that it only included 8093ft of ascent - which illustrates how mountainous the terrain is on which you're riding
Yes, there’s no escaping the hills here in mid Wales, mainly because I do most riding on minor remote roads that avoid traffic. I could follow the Towy valley down the main roads, dodging lorries and traffic, not my cup of tea. So it’s all hills, up or down every ride whether I like it or not.
