SUMMER-average ride

Down to the coast and the cafe for a warm up---Look at the weather for clouds and wind direction. I always ride into the wind from here on unless it is a southerly- South and next land fall is 30 miles away and I might get wet. Easterly and I am swearing. A flat exposed ride for 12 miles before heading inland to get in a few short sharp rises and about 40 to 50 miles. Westerly and I am swearing. 8% for about 1 mile then down about the same just to get cool then the 16% for .7 of a mile. Then how do I feel- 20 miles into Brighton along the coast road and then up inland to join the roadies out on their flat route for about another 20.

And then there are the other 10 or so rides I have worked out from Home. All involve a bit of climbing but if Energetic then from home it is a 6 mile warm up then 3,000ft of climbing in the next 30 miles before a flat ride home for about 20.

So many rides I do not have an average ride. The only average I have is the %age climb----unless I am feeling lazy and it is just a quick 20 miles across the marshes. At present I am liking the marshes.
