July 23, 2022,KIRKSTONE PASS

my Garmin does not record when i go below 5 miles per hour ,, hence why i am descending more than climbing, more miles would be added also .. Tough Ride this one.. rain, wind, fallen down tress and 2 fences climbed due to road closers, I hate hills and nothing is flat up here
