Bike:Vela
Distance:36 miles
Lovely Saturday morning ride. 36 miles, 800m of climbing, 18.6mph average. Very good. Plenty of people on bikes out too, some were even trying to go fast. I felt a bit sorry for the chap going up the Belmont climb to the tops who seemed fairly shocked to be passed. I guess he thought he was going quite quickly. 
Ran out of gears on the way back down, need a bigger chain ring I think, flat out pedalling, bike was wobbling around I was spinning that fast and I still only got to 48mph.
My GPS Came back from the repair shop too, and they’ve repaired it. Sweet!
Edit: And that’s 123 miles for the week so far, just need to knock out a >50 miler tomorrow and I beat last weeks mileage. Wonder if I can get 77 miles in and call it an even 200 for the week…..? It would mean a road ride, and not a hugely hilly one….or I could do the ride I just did, twice….hmmmm.
