Cycle - 4.2 hours - 05/31/2008

Glorious Spring morning in the North Downs 

Nine of us out in the early morning sunshine for the DPNC Saturday ride in the North Downs.

Ken led us on a slightly modified Edenbridge loop with Star Hill added after Ide.

I climbed well by pushing my heart rate up to my Zone 5 threshold (92% of max) and holding it there for the duration.

Fortunately none of the hills were too long and I made it up them all towards the middle of the group.

This ride brought up my 5,000th km of this year which is half my 2008 goal.

No holiday is planned for this month so I’m looking forward to a few weeks of routine riding.

The Circuit of the Cotswolds sportive is on the 22nd and I’m planning a weekend tour along the East Sussex and Kent coast if we get some good weather.
