Day 3: Tuesday 15th March – Recovery Day!
Distance: 31 miles / 50 km
Ascent: 282m (didn’t even have to ride back up to the villa as van was down in town for it’s MOT)
Ride time: 1hr 57mins
Average speed: 15.6mph / 25kmh, Max speed: 61kmh
Weather: partly cloudy, 14 degrees, strong wind gusts
Coffee stops: 0 (short recovery ride)
Gels: 0 (would have been classed as pathetic)
Following a very wet morning, the cloud lifted and the sun popped out just in time for our rescheduled 2.30pm start time. Today’s ride was a recovery ride along the coast – high cadence, low resistance controlled heart rate. Gave me a chance to understand how to use my heart rate monitor which previously had just beeped at me annoyingly. Feeling well rested which is a good thing as Adam has mentioned a number of times that “we have a tough day tomorrow”.... I expect nothing less. At least the sun is forecast to come out even if it’s expected to be accompanied by strong winds.
