Log Entry #27: Sharp Incline
Time on Bike: 49 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 13.23 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2 mph
Totals: 27 Hours 43 Minutes, 449.01 Miles, 16.2 mph
Back on the Lavenham route which formed part of our region's stage of the Tour of Britain. The most pleasing thing was the sharp incline as you head off Bull Lane towards Lavenham that comes straight afetr a double bend so you have no chance to sufficiently gear up. Climbed it without hitting lowest gear and less recovery time needed as well. The fact that it was lunchtime and I was beating the rain probably contributed but it was still rewarding...

Though I genuinely feel like the body is getting better, the climbs can still hurt. It is an effort of will to resist the urge to get out of the saddle and make things easier. It's also an effort of will to stop myself reaching for the biscuit tin at the end of the evening.....

Glemsford has now been added to the list of available routes. It is basically a horseshoe diversion on the way to Cavendish but includes a long gradual climb up Hobbs Lane to the sprawling town (village?). Certainly helps the legs...

Surprising how small diversions can add distance. On the way home on Thursday and I'm looking at the clouds thinking it's going to pour any minute so took a small diversion in Borley to add some minor distance with the intention of cutting and running come Ballingdon. However once I got to the Ballingdon crossroads I decided to do the full Lamarsh loop anyway!
Tonight will experiment with a Glemsford diversion - as long as it's not raining.....

It was raining again the previous night when I left the office but I was determined to get some distance in so went via Lavenham (now classed as "the old route"). Windy, rain lashing, cold. But felt good for it. This morning however have forgotten the waterproof so will have to pray for sunshine all day....

Sunday morning I was delighted to get out for a 2 hour ride with my good friend Mr V. We did Lamarsh in reverse and then the new Cavendish bit in reverse and then up Tesco hill to finish. A good gentle ride and feel all the better for it!

When the clock ticks back up to 16.3 mph from 16.2 mph it really messes with the distance travelled stat for the journey. It sort of means that my 16.2mph readings were probably 16.249's and maybe I'm now 16.25mph on average but that's the trouble with 1 decimal place!!!
Let's face it the day before the journey indicated 13.77 miles and now it's 15.95......

Tried a different route last night that took in part of the Tour of Britain route and one of the KoM climbs. It was a good ride but turned out to be not as long as I'd hoped. Made the climb relatively comfortably and then because I was coming back into Sudbury via Melford I really pushed it along the bypass before turning for home. Legs are improving!!

Short Trips. It rained heavily on a nice sunny day. Only a small waterproof for company so I gave in and went straight home. Shorts and socks dried out after two days on radiator!!!
