Went out for an afternoon ride looping round town – not concentrating on distance, but trying to ride hard

I then powered up the hill to the station taking 7 seconds off my best time

I rode back down Hanger Hill to Monument Green and turned into Oatlands Drive

I took a wrong turn and ended up riding Monument Road to Monument Hill

I powered up the hill taking 15 seconds off my best time 🙂

I then turned into Palace Drive and located Tower Walk and the arch 🙂

I then made my way to Grotto Road and on to Portmore Park Road

I rode round to Heath Road and again ascended to the station although this was more leisurely

At the station I turned into St Georges Avenue and rode round to Queens Road
