On Sunday I took my new Focus Cayo for a ride to Brighton and back. It proved to be quite the challenge, for my legs and my phone that for 8 hours was simultaneously running, SportyPal, Winamp and Google Navigation. On the way back it restarted itself so I only tracked 150km of my ride. The total ride was 163km which took 8.5 hours with 6.5 hours cycle time. I burnt a whopping 5000 cals which should keep me ravenously hungry for a couple of days.In the end, it was quite brutal for the last 50km. The ride to Brighton took 3 hours (which apparently is good) and the ride back 3.5 hours (minus breaks).
Hopefully after these two rides my legs are ready to be punished in France this weekend.
I'll be proudly wearing my Australian cycle jersey too in celebrating Cadel Evans victory!
Here is the ride (partial)
