Well er..um except (I still have to do the oil change on the car....and need to finish sorting the network...and want to install Windoze 7....and want to go for a decent cycle ride everyday..and...and..and..)
I removed the Untangle firewall from the network this morning, it had been running well but was toooooooo slow, I re-installed it with Smoothwall and swapped the 3rd D-link Gigabit NIC with the Realtek Gigabit NIC in the Freenas server, once the main network was back up and running I went for a cycle ride :-)
The sun was shining and the roads were empty :-) although there did appear to be a 360 degree headwind...
I thought I would start where I left off yesterday with a hill climb, although the local climbs are NOTHING like the Dartmoor equivalent...
I thought I would try and squeeze a nice 30 miles in the 2 hours I had available, I didn't want to push myself to hard as yesterdays ride was very tough...
I stopped and took a few pictures on the way round (Thought I would make up for the lack of pictures yesterday)
The only problem with this time of the year is that you work up a nice sweat on the climbs to get bloody cold on the descents...
The trees are still holding on to their leaves
It looked like I was going to come up short on the distance so I extended the return out a little to Studley, it is NOT a fast 12% descent unfortunately as the road is narrow and has a fair bit of loose gravel.
Also as is the case where there is a steep descent there is a steep climb to follow...
The Garmin had today's ride as 30.45 miles in 2 hours 1 minute with an average speed of 15.1 mph, route here...
