20.07 km in 01:10:30 hours at 17.08 km/h on Surly Pacer.
Forgot computer today. No real idea of time/speed but it was
my usual route to Harpenden for Pilates and back, so I'm using stats
from last such ride. Only thing is, the wind direction has reversed in
the past week... bringing Spring! So battled against quite a head wind
going down, then found the wind had shifted slightly more westerly for
the return journey so had cross wind rather than tailwind on the main
road, and then through
the Peppercorn - Slip End - Woodside zigzag had more or less the opposite as we had going down. Took photos of potholes
near the pig farm on Manor Road, to report to Central Beds Council.
Capstan thermometer said temp was about 62F (didn't check what this is
in Celsius). Wore S/S Primal jersey with SmartWool armwarmers, with L/S
Smartwool jersey and Pearl Izumi Barrier Elite gillet. On the bottom, I
wore my Ibex El Fito 3/4 knicks - exposing my shins for the first time
this year! Feet: SmartWool socks and Spesh shoes. Head: Walz wool cap.
Actually got too warm struggling in that wind going down, so ditched the
arm warmers for the return and was still a little warm - feeling the
heat through the black sleeves of the jersey!
Adam meanwhile wore S/S jersey and
cotton cap. He's half-alien.
