Sunday's Extended Ride

[Kevin F]

There was a request to post the Garmin stats from the Sunday ride so here they be!

The overall average after the sprint on Interurban was 30.1. for 81.2 kms not too shappy for a 'winter ride' See max temp of 23 c!

Thanks Kevin! By the time I got home I had done a century.

Great day! Lots of variety. I ended up at about 120k by the time I dragged my bike into the garage. I have to say, the traffic on W. Saanich was a bit hairy but given that it was Sunday one can understand. It's been awhile since I did a very long ride. Like some of you I think I need to address "nutrition on go". I'll pack some extra food next time (cookies, gels, etc.) I'm game for a repeat of the route next Sunday.

Nutrition... heck I was bonking on the shorter 'normal' 80km ride. I'd be in the ditch if I did the extendo ride.

Barry et al....

I clocked in at about 110km by the time I got home. Still can't believe that we managed to splinter into three groups, on three different routes, and yet all managed to meet up simultaneously at Mt. Newton and Wallace.

So, who's in for another long-haul next Sunday? I liked the way the extra km wore out the ectomorph "hummingbirds" and gave us mesomorphs a chance in the sprint for a change!

For the record, 1 banana = 100km:

Pack accordingly

P.S. On a related note...anyone up for a longish ride on Thursday?

Thursday I'm in for a morning ride. How about we make it 7:20am departure from Fairfield 'Bucks - pretend it's Sunday. Does that work for everyone.. maybe do a long (90+) and a short (70-80km) ride?
