I'm waiting for my Triban 3 to be delivered and my mountain bike is broken, so I jumped on the step-daughter's MTB for the Sunday ride. It is too small, but not by that much - it was better than nothing.

I went a new route and discovered a very steep hill! 0.6miles, average gradient of 5.3% apparently and it topped out at 12% (please don't tell me that they get steeper...)

At the top I accidentally clicked finish on the Strava app, so I had to start a new ride for the journey home. As I was on the MTB, I had a little poke around Langdon Hills park first, but there were lots of dogs, so I didn't stay long.

I'm not ashamed to say, going back down the hill scared the Bejessus out of me (it was very steep and not a great road surface either), my max speed according to Strava was 29.8mph. (there is a glitch that for some reason shows I got upto 44.5mph but I can assure you I didn't!)

An enjoyable morning ride - but I'm looking forward to trying this route again with a proper bike :smile:

Well a lot has been going on. Well done everyone I will try and catch up with every ones rides later, as I am not feeling that well, I was ok out to 20 miles, I dont know if I have done too much or I am coming done with something, anyway after thigs went a little pear shaped I ended up on the A1 just before Donny, I should have realised when I say a garage (should have realised before really) anyway a pretty hairy 2.3 miles ensued, (I thought the road was a touch busy to start with but put it down to schools breaking up)
http://ridewithgps.com/segments/A1-segment after this I just wasn't motivated for what ever reason.
39miles @ 14.2 mph.
