Set off yesterday without looking at the map or planning a route. I just wanted to spin around the Chilterns in the sun, not really bothered about being fast or anything, mostly just wanting to get some distance training in for my summer tour.
Managed 78 miles at 14.4mph pace with nearly 4000ft of climbing (the Chilterns are TOUGH), which is far and away the toughest ride I've ever done, but most importantly it was a thoroughly enjoyable day cruising around sunny lanes on 35mm tyres with easy gearing!
