15 mile ride, Windermere to Grasmere loop

21/10/2010 00:00

Another bike in the boot of the car day.

I parked up in Windermere & rode to Grasmere via the main road, then chose the quieter route back to Windermere via the small road to the west (Red Bank), now that has a seriously steep & not exactly short, hill. I refuse to get off & walk any road hill, I might be going slow but I'll get up it!

Still far from fully fit I have to admit I had to stop 2 thirds of the way up, my heart rate was 171 beats per minute, another record that I haven't beaten since... nor do I wish to!
