Simon
From Wimbers, down to the south downs and back.
Went nice and steady to rack up a good mileage.
1745m of up.
- Miles:
- 2991 total / 0 in 2013
- Goal:
A 6700 miles logged in 2010. In 2011 I want to get faster and more consistent; a few golds on sportifs, and do well on a timetrial. Oh and run up some stairs.

Cracking ride in the sunshine. Felt good, flying along. Great what a bit of sun does to my mood, and my cycling. Bring on the summer.

Pah. Typical CTC geek. Hardknot? I quiver with fear....
The Scanuppia averages 25% for 1.5km with a max of 45%. It goes up 1400m in 7km. Still Baldwin St would probably give a taste.

good 78 km 02:52 16.9mph pace
Did a little sportive. Went fairly well for the first half but dipped a bit when the, erm, "hills" hit (Toys, Biggin, etc). Not the best time but it'll do. And I was 5th out of 155 p... read more
