103km: Rivington-Aughton & back

25°C strong sun & easterly 10 mph

My legs said ‘go’, so I went. Average speed started out low at 20kph into the headwind then the hills. Horrocks Hill was first (Bannister Lane) and then you drop back down to Coppul. Then it’s Up to Irvington for the café stop.  Coming back I took the back descent to Parbold.

Does not include the return 20km.

What an exceptional day. Perfect weather (25°C full sun). The bike was good but lacked the lower gears. If this Campa transmission should play up, I may put the Tiagra 10spd on instead.


Next day (Monday): I’m tired. Here’s some charts from the GPS app. My legs are now empty so no ride today.
