Ride 25/05/2019

Today I was doing our club sportive the Tour of the Kingdom, I was doing the 70 mile loop, had the weather been better I would have done the 100 miles loop. It started off dry but it was scheduled to rain today which it did start doing towards the end of my ride but not enough to worry me. I was riding this alone today as I wanted to go at my own pace but I started out the block far too fast, I was averaging nearly 17 mph in the first 30 odd miles so I decided to slow down and ride with some of the other club members, at least until we got to Cleish At Cleish I put my foot down and went it alone again, by this time my avg speed had dropped to 15 mph and I didn’t want to go any lower. So for the last 20 miles I kept up a steady pace until the finish. I only stopped once to eat so by the time I got back home i was starving but not absolutely shattered so it was a good days ride for me
