Day of my ride

Headed off from home about 06:30.  The girls were still in bed.

Start of the Bath to Bristol bike track
Along the bike track  @ 06:45 - no one else seems to think this is a sensible idea
Long Ashton pike & ride - official start of Great Weston Ride
It was difficult to know how many people took part as everyone started at different times
30 miles in - Chew Valley lakes - feeling fine
40 miles in - half way and a refreshment stop just before the climb up the Mendip hills
Pridey - after the Mendips.  50 miles. A bacon sandwich (yum) & banana to keep me going.

10 miles to go - very flat.  I like the flat!


The finish at Weston - and not feeling too bad at all!!
At the end the bike computer said: 5hours 40 secs riding time; 78 miles; 2064 kcal burnt; 13.7 average mph.
