Training: EF-Broxbourne-Essex-Whetstone-EF

79-mile club ride today which was done mostly at base-miles pace over gently rolling hills. Forgot to charge my Garmin Edge GPS last night, so none of the ride was captured and I ended up wearing my HR strap for nothing. The last 20-odd miles were over some stiffer hills and some of the stronger guys went to the front to make our lives miserable - ended up getting slightly dropped off the back on the last big hill with another guy, but we managed to latch back on with 5-miles to go.

Coffee and carrot cake to finish off the ride at our usual cafe. Although I felt a lot of pain in those last miles, I'm feeling fine and refreshed an hour after getting back home.

Distance: 127km
Time: 4:05:31
