Sunday ride

Went for a 60 mile ride stopping at the Dunstable Downs visitor centre after 30 miles and 2 and a half hours riding. The visitor centre is 776ft above sea level (according one of the rider's GPS) i.e. at the top of a long hill. But the views were spectacular on a clear and sunny day. Alex lead the ride which was a good mixture of fast flats and some hills into a headwind going west. The ride home was more direct and faster taking our average from 13.8 for the first 30 miles to 14.7 for the return leg, partly down to the sprint from Digswell to Panshanger hill. Everyone enjoyed the day out and thanks to the fast return, I was home 45 mins ahead of my expected time. Later I was able to take the kids to the soft play where they were the only two in the centre as it was the last hour before closing (but they needed to run around).
