Lucky Friday Ride

Friday the 13th always bodes well.
Aim of the session was to do a zone 1-E2.1 bike ride as part of my overdistance for the week. The other point of the ride was to bring the Jake on a bit of an offroad blast to get a bit of a grin on.

Total Time (h:m:s) 1:27:43 4:20 pace
Moving Time (h:m:s) 1:08:37 3:23 pace
Distance (km) 20.22
Moving Speed (kph) 17.7 avg. 38.7 max.
Elevation Gain (m) +211 / -212
Avg. Heart Rate 128 bpm
Temperature (C) 15C avg. 15C high
Wind Speed ( kph) NE 17.9 avg. NE 18.5 max.

Unfortunately as you can see from the moving time vs total time there was a fair bit of stoppage and the ride was relatively short. This was due to the fact that my main crank bolt kept coming loose and I had to keep stoping to tighten it with improvised tools. The 8mmallen key which would have fixed it in 2 seconds I had just taken out of my bag before I left the house. Well clever!



Nice route though, with a bail out through Ashley and a bit of footpath (with bike on the shoulder) . Also discovered a nice little bit of trail on the old Tetbury-Kemble line. Overall verdict: Not bad for a Friday evening on a school night, and no crashes!
