40 Mile Training Session in Ruthin



Well I had to visit the Parents in law this year. So as the snow had cleared I took advantage of the good conditions to go for a cycle. I mapped the route on Map My Ride.I didn’t check the gradients at the time of mapping which was a mistake as the route was hilly. At one point I was caught out by the 20% gradiant of a road. I took it easy on decents as I didn’t want to end up in hospital.

As I climbed towards Llyn Brenig I was suprised by the frozen lake. It was a beautifull sight and I even stopped to take a picture although I only had my Blackberry and have emailed a copy of the file that really doesn’t do the view justice.

The route was a slightly tougher than expected and had many climbs so at least I got some early year climbing practive. I’ve uploaded the data from my Garmin Edge 705  and it can be viewed here.
