Log Entry #24: Small Diversions

Time on Bike: 1 Hour 21 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 21.88 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2

Totals: 24 Hours 38 Minutes, 399.06 Miles, 16.2 Mph

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.....

Average Speed: 16.2 mph

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!

Log Entry #21: Messing with the Average

Time on Bike: 52 minutes
Distance Travelled: 15.95 miles
Average Speed: 18.4 mph

Totals: 19 hours 8 minutes, 311.87 miles, 16.3 mph

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......

Time on Bike: 51 minutes
Distance Travelled: 13.77 miles
Average Speed: 16.2 mph

Totals: 18 hours 16 minutes, 295.92 miles, 16.2 mph

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!!!
