What a difference a ride makes, I decided to ride the 09:00 group rather than the 08:30 fast group as I’m riding with the fast group tomorrow doing the 100km ride. I know from experience that I can’t keep up with the fast group doing the 100km as I usually get dropped after the cafe stop. So my strategy this week is to do the slower ride today thus leaving me some energy for tomorrow and hopefully I won’t get dropped tomorrow, we shall see Suffice to say todays stats are a bit skewed as the garmin didn’t stop for the cafe stop so the avg speed should be around the 14-15 mph mark rather than 12 mph cos I sure as hell wasn’t riding that slow.
