NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Jurassic Beast Sportive - The Stats


Here are the stats from yesterday's ride; ride time was 6:00:37, total distance was 163.4km, total ascent was 2522m, top speed was 69.2kmh and average speed was 27.1kmh. Ave HR was 151 with max HR of 181. Of this, 1:10 was below 75% MHR, 4:29 was in 75-90%MHR and 0:20 was above 90% MHR.

The official results show my finishing time as 6:11:11 at an average speed of 16.2mph for a gold standard ride; am happy with that. Only 20 gold standard rides on the Epic route gives an indication of how tough it was.
