Saturday morning ride

Went out on a 50k ride this morning. I call it the Clayton West Tour. From our house in Mirfield I ride via the A62 upto Cooper Bridge and then past Mama's and Papa's up the hill towards Upper Heaton, then continue towards Grange Moor, then direction Flockton, go down towards the television tower with a very short and steep climb, past the tower tp Shelley, then to Skelmanthorpe to Clayton West, starting the return with again a short but steep climb towards Emley, continue all the way towards Lepton Edge, and then very nice downhill all the way towards Overton, at the outdoor shop bend left towards Thornhill to Dewsbury and back home. The ride went well as the weather was really beautiful. Did just over 24k average, total ascend of nearly 800 mtr (my Garmin Edge 705 has a lot of information available, more about that later). I wasn't too tired when I got home, so should start to be ready for the Cape Argus in just over a month.
