Day 2 of back to backs.
After last nights 27 miler with a good few climbs I decided this afternoon to drop around the Black Isle.
Left Muir of Ord out on the A832 and passed Grant coming the opposite way. Good to see the team committing to their task. I hope he blogs his training run. At Tore, stuck with the 832 straight through past Munlochy, through Avoch and Fortrose and on to Cromarty. Stopped for 5 minutes to take on board some nourishment andthen on through Jemimaville.
I was thinking of taking the long hill up and then through Killen, but decidd to see what turning right would bring. Must admit, this turned out to be quite a long drag up as well, with some good steepish bits thrown in.
Road was out through Culbokie, across the A9 and then through Easter Kinkell, Mulbuie and then finally back home to Muir of Ord.
Total mileage by CatEye was 46.45 miles in total riding time of 2 hrs 48 minutes. Average speed was 16.1 mph.
Elevation and mileage graph attached.
Diagnosis so far. Friday 27 miles, not bad. Got about 6 hours sleep, full round of golf and then 46.5 miler again today. Verdict - (answers on a postcard please) Not bad. Can certainly feel it in the thighs, but we won't be averaging 16 miles per hour.
Cheerio
