27th October 2007 Other: Dunstable Downs Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Weather: Clearing Max Speed: 36 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 48 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Early morning road ride to Dunstable Downs. To learn some new routes I programmed my Foretrex 201 with the route, it works really well - indicating where turns are, the only limitation is that when you are going fast down a stretch at more than 25mph it is a bit late to indicate the turn. Also it is limited to 30 waypoints for some reason, so you have to be choosy about which ones to put in. I mark the route on MemoryMap, then upload it using G7towin. The Downs are a nice climb up to 800 feet, which takes about 2 miles to achieve, so you don't need very low gears. On my road bike the wheel I used had a lowest of 42 x 18 on it - er not a low gear at all. The weather was damp, but as I descended the sun came out and I could hear a bit of wind in the trees. Tomorrow looks good for a session at the lake, plus I need to go to pick up my tickets for Dahab next week. Just under 50 miles in 2:30. I was well chuffed with that! |
