Longest ride so far

Today I did my longest ride so far - 140 kilometers through the Yorkshire Dales (Mirfield - Leeds - Poole - Grassington - Skipton - Keighley - Queensburry - Bailiff Bridge - Mirfield). It went quite well, certainly considering the week after my Cape Argus race. But then the weather was absolutely fantastic, the occasional cloud, a bit of wind but mostly quite sunny and around 12C. Perfect weather to ride.
Statistics were 1700 mtr total ascend, 25.8 k/h. There were some interesting climbs in the ride and I feel I'm improving quite a bit with my climbing. It's necessary as well as the Etappe De Dales has around 3000 meters ascend. If I continue however as I'm doing now, I should be able to do the EdD 110 miles in around 8 hours. Otherwise I didn't do too much this week, some turbotraining with the club and a ride to work. Had a check up at the gym at work on Friday, we did a 6 minute increased powerride on the stationairy bike - went up to 250 Watt with 85% MHR without any problems.
The Cape Argus folks added the adjustment table to their site, due to everyone complaining about their finishing times, my 4h18 should be adjusted to around 3h30 under normal circumstances, quite good actually. Maybe I can try again next year and hope for nice weather.
