The Lost Canal - Part 4
Ouch - adapted for a 60mile PB, paced the first half right Z2/3, but 2nd half was Z3/4 on purpose, but this turned out to be a bit much. Pleased but aching, now for bacon 🥓 and egg 🍳.

Garmin Safety Features Work !!
So I fell off today, silly accident at low speed on narrow track (see photo), bike went one way I went the other into tall grass and nettles. No injuries but stinging from the nettle rash as I write. Shout-out for the Garmin Safety Features which notified my contacts and…

Ulley Reservoir
Found it on the map north of Rother Valley, Friday night. Figured I'd give it a try this morning. Few hills, up was hard but down to the Reservoir was rapid.

Garmin Tech
Found an Edge Explore 2 with £50 off on Amazon last week. Good addition compared to the phone in a crossbar bag I've been using previously. Really helped attempt the cross hill climb up from the canal on roads I've never been on previously.

The Lost Canal - Part 3
Managed an early start (4:30) and paced this better. Extended the loop over to the centre of Worksop and into Clumber Park. Good route, lot of gravel. Will add a lap of Clumber Park lake in next time. First 50+ mile ride 🏆

Lambton Worm
What if something huge, suddenly shifted it's mass at the base of the canal while you were riding along? Welcome to Zone 2 😂

Arkwright Town Loop
Like this loop it's all hill climb from the canal. I use the pavement on the Chesterfield Road Hill climb to Calow. It's not worth getting run over by someone who's late for work, tho your close to the hospital 😂.

The Passage South
Builds on a route I did a couple of weeks ago. Easier way to link the Trans Pennine Trail with the Five Pits Trail. Less gravel, quieter road though. Hill up to Sutton Scarsdale will never be enjoyable, but it's manageable.

The Lost Canal - Part 2
New PB - Early start 5am + Zone 2 pedaling for the first 12 miles helped (and x5 sacrificial Jelly Babies!) But as usual I speeded up. The Worksop section of the canal is stunning although the paths are a bit rough. Thorpe locks - who new there were so…

Assume I meant the heatwave and not the lingerie in the car park at Poolsbrook when I took my Padiwans out on Father's Day 😂
