27/08 Adventures around Pendle
Road ride from the outlaws through Burnley to Fence and then around Pendle Hill and Clitheroe and back through Whalley.
Longest road ride of the year at 3:49 85 km
facts 2873 cals, 1150m of ascent, 74 rpm average cadence (probably explained by the hilly terrain and need to map read)
The good thing about this ride is that I have broken my "fear" of the back lanes in the area and this will open up more routes. The route through Burnley was OK but not for busy times of the day or match days though.
The rout back through Whalley was OK apart from the usual idiots who can't give anyone room on the road or be delayed. I do ned to find other quieter ones if possible.

23/08 Thursday Night MTB
Just me and Jason out.
He decided to set a fast pace up the cobbles and set the tone for the ride.
I then proceeded to drag him up the biggst climbs in the area
probably 2hrs of riding time, 640m of ascent, 1920 calories
3 pints in the pub!
