Planned to ride to Southport airshow (80 mile round trip) with two of my usual MTB buddies, but I was riding my Straggler with 29x2.0" Conti RaceKing and 750mm Salsa risers, and they were on carbon frames, drop bars and slicks. Also, the one on the front is about 4 inches shorter than me... Went into the red too much on the hills heading north out of Bolton, so split and went square hunting instead.
All access closed into the pink area from the roads, but did hit the 7 squares to the North. 35 miles, 2500ft elevation, avg 9.0 mph. Got a load of PRs trying to catch up with the guys, and a few more with a tailwind on the way home.
