I spend a few hours this morning pootling around the London/Surrey/Kent countryside. On route I saw one of my ex-bosses, so stopped to chat with him and his wife for a short while. I also, unfortunately, failed in my attempt at a long 16% gradient hill in Titsley.
Details, if the iframe doesn’t display are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/31049950.
This ride is the same total distance as I cover on my rides to work (in+out), but required far more energy and time due to the sheer number of hills involved. I’m not (yet) a hill climber.
