This ride was very easy after yesterday.  Beautiful sunny day, quiet roads, just gently spinning along.  There’s definitely something mad with the Garmin estimate of calories used though.  According to the Garmin, this ride was 1000 calories!  That’s completely bonkers.  I’d be surprised if it was a third of that.

Did this ride this morning on the wet horrible roads round Cambridge.  Stats not so good and was suffering from a hangover which never helps.  Only two months until the Liege Paris trip so there’s going to have to be more and more of these unfortunately…

After coming back from the USA, I needed some exercise.  This is my standard 30k loop and I’d like to be able to do it in under an hour.  Once managed 1 hr 4 minutes but this time 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Just did this shortish ride this morning with some of the guys who are doing the Liege Paris ride this year.  It was so cold this morning.  My feet feel like two blocks of ice and despite hot hands I really suffered with my thin gloves.  Also, not very fast due to having a cold and my ribs hurting on the way up hills.  Whinge whinge whinge…anyway might try and get out on Sunday to do some more before heading to Chicago.
