Daily Log #13: Repeat Route

Time on Bike: 1 hour 2 minutes
Distance Travelled: 16.94 miles
Average Speed: 16.4 mph

Totals: 11 hours 31 minutes, 188.87 miles, 16.4 mph

Interestingly managed the Lamarsh Loop in an average speed equal to my overall average. Not bad for a hilly stage. Convinced that at the top of Head Lane in Cornard we'd managed (Jody did remember his bike this time!) an average of 17mph and the slow uphill from there to home killed my speed. Time will put strength into the legs but unfortunately I'm now on holiday for a week or so. It will be like starting again when I get back....

Daily Log #12: Lonely Lamarsh Loop

The Lamarsh Loop (as we alone call it) goes from the office here in Long Melford via Liston, Borley, Henny, Lamarsh, into Bures Hamlet and then back along the main Bures road to Sudbury. Minor climb to Borley and some steep short climbs along the Lamarsh road before a long descent into Bures. A couple of short drags up on the Bures road which then just leaves an energy sapping drag up Head Lane in Cornard and along the top road before having to climb the Chilton part of the A134 to get home. Very enjoyable but as Jody forgot to bring his bike back yeatserday I did it alone....
