A good ride today with one big effort thrown in early on. About 5 minutes into the ride I figured I’d been going hard and so ought to keep on riding hard and see if I could do a 20 minute interval at that pace.

The thing is the route I had picked wasn’t massively conducive to that idea, but I tried my best. At the time I pushed as hard as I could to reach 25 minutes then quite happily eased off. It really did feel like a full 20 minute effort.

Sadly when I got home and checked the stats I saw it very much wasn’t.
Still a good ride.
