I raced against myself again, using the Garmin Virtual Partner, it was tough!
There was no perceivable wind, Lyneham met office observations showed...
| 1800 |  | 20.1 °C | N | 6 mph | 30 km | 1027 hPa, Falling | |
| 1900 | | 19.7 °C | N | 7 mph | 30 km | 1027 hPa, Falling |
And I did my 21.26 mile ride in an amazing 1 hour and 3 minutes with an average speed of 20.1 mph!
I have been trying to break 20 mph average on the ride since I started, but never actually thought I would do it :-) (Dave said it was a good ride for evens...well I guess he was right)
The GPS track for the ride can be found here...
Riding against a shadow me is really quite demanding as there is a constant fight to stay ahead of me....All the way to Lyneham the virtual me was between 10 and 20 seconds ahead, but as I turned back towards Sutton Benger down Dauntsey Bank, I leapt ahead, there was NO headwind and I was averaging over 20 mph on the home stretch :-)
When I got back home I was proper knackered!
I think I will save today as the new 'Normal 20' baseline.....and I won't be beating me for a while yet!!!
