Daily Log #16: Easier Looping

Time on Bike: 1 hour 20 minutes
Distance Travelled: 21.87 miles
Average Speed: 16.4 mph

Totals: 13 hours 54 minutes, 227.96 miles, 16.4 mph

The muscles in my legs are starting to remember. Climbing was slightly easier this time around. I got into a low gear early so I had high cadence at the bottom of the climb which helped in the early stage and then gear shifted when necessary to keep up the tempo. Obviously once I was in the highest gear (or is that the lowest) I had nowhere to go so tempo slowed and the end of the climb couldn't come quick enough. I was delighted that only one point did I have to get out of the saddle and stamp those pedals!!
