I should have gone out training yesterday but the wind was so strong it was blowing wagons over on the flyovers. It was still a little windy today but not dangerous like yesterday so decided to go for a hilly route. I rode through Atherton - Westleigh - Hindley - Wigan - Uphill for a couple of miles into Standish then i turned right to go down the hill towards Red Rock (a steep uphill). This hill starts out at 10% then evens off to 3 or 4% and is also about 2 miles long. At the top of Red Rock i carried straight over the give way to Blackrod then joined the A6 to Over Hulton and home. All the time trying to keep my heart rate at the high end of zone 3 and above 150bpm. A good ride with a good average speed and my quads are starting to get sore too now.
Stats - 31.7 miles, 1h 47 mins, 17.66 average, max 34.7mph, Heart rate max/average 175/153bpm
1057.48 miles for this year
