And so British Summer Time arrives

Well, I must say that I was slightly worried about doing a ride today with the clocks going forward last night, heralding the beginning of British Summer Time and the onset of lighter nights - it's never good when you've missed out on sleep!  Having said that, I still got out for a couple of hours and we didn't do too badly - we went up Tatton Wall faster than the average speed for the ride and we seemed to speed up the steeper it got - strange but true!  The link to the ride is below:

I also did a sneaky 18 miles yesterday, without my phone and Sportypal app, to see how I would be after doing two rides back to back, as I am conscious that the Ride Across Britain is getting ever closer.  The good news is that I survived both rides and we weren't hanging around too much either.  I did find that despite the fact that there was not really any headwind, the cold wind seemed to be like a headwind for half of the ride on both days! 

So I've done a total of 50 miles this weekend, at an average speed of around 15 mph, not too bad!
