36 miles and 2,300’, 16 MPH average. Tried a new strategy today in the name of doing quasi-intervals: Take it real easy on the flats and downhills and attack the hills. Managed one KOM for my age group and 3 second places.

There is a 1.5 mile downhill that I had a good shot at getting the KOM or KOD (King of Descent) but there was a white Land Rover which kept braking to say at the speed limit. Was tempted to overtake him a couple of times on a long straight but wasn’t sure if he would turn into a driveway in front of me. The holder of the KOM is a tandem - which doesn’t count since those things are so damned fast. I had one and could go stupid fast on downhills - 62.5 was my max.
