Saturday 20 February's weather forecast looked better than the Sundays so I took advantage and rode out in a favourite loop down to Wilmcote. It's just over 40 miles which made it the longest ride this year and I felt pretty good - probably the best this year so far.
I was on the Scott for only the 3rd time since I fitted the Shimano 5800 11 speed groupset - it really is much better than the previous 5700 10 speed set. I'd also fitted the 11-32 rear cassette for test (swapped out the 11-28) in preparation for the Rawlinson Bracket on 28 Feb - at 70 miles this is the longest I'll have ridden for a long time and its hilly so I'll need all the help I can get
I made another (2x speed) video with my Garmin Virb of most of the route:
In preparation for the Rawlinson Bracket I actually have ridden my turbo trainer twice in the previous week:
The first day I felt surprisingly good,the second day not so. However it might have made a difference on the Saturday
