The conditions were perfect for another good run time :-)
Lyneham Met observations were...
| 1800 |  | 19.6 °C | W | 8 mph | 25 km | 1012 hPa, Rising | |
| 1900 | | 18.6 °C | WNW | 7 mph | 25 km | 1013 hPa, Rising |
I started racing the virtual me and to my surprise was actually beating me (Bearing in mind the virtual me had a time of 1 hour 3 and an average speed of 20.1 mph) at the half way point I was nearly 3 minutes ahead, I had done over 10 miles at the 30 minute point.
As I turned left at Sutton Benger the course average speed was 21.5 mph! I was on for achieving at least 21 mph average!!!! Then just as I was coming to the end of Sutton Lane on to Maud Heath's Causeway there was a loud ping then a tinkle, tinkle, tinkle noise from the back wheel :-(
I stopped looked at it, swore, span the wheel to make sure it was still there, then set off again, the wheel was buckled and a spoke had snapped!!!!!
To my total amazement I had so much time in the bag that I limped home with the buckled wheel and still achieved an average speed of 20 mph (According to the Cateye computer) and 20.4 mph according to the Garmin...So another evens run :-) even with a broken bike :-(
Will have to try and get the wheel sorted tomorrow morning so it won't affect the weekend's plan!
The cycle computer had today's ride as 21.3 miles in 1 hour 3 minutes with an average speed of 20 mph.
The Garmin GPS track can be found here...
