For today's ride, Patrick decided we were going to do 50 km. He planned out two routes, we picked one, and took it. Water was packed and sunscreen applied. Seif and Guilherme also joined.
We stopped half way for milkshakes.
And I paused the GNSS there:
Max speed: 45.5 km/h
Average speed: 23.6 km/h
Total distance: 28.5 km
Getting over the bridge was a challenge.
From there, we went through some port then under the river.
Max speed: 49.8 km/h
Average speed: 23.0 km/h
Total distance: 24.1 km
That max speed is wrong. I have the real max speed from my bike computer, which only has 1 set of numbers for the whole trip:
Max speed: 56.0 km/h
Average speed: 23.2 km/h
Total distance: 51.96 km
No signal in the tunnel to record the real top speed on perfectly smooth zero-wind downhill.
I got called away and had to go home a little early, so the maps don't end back at the office. The bike computer ended with 55.58 km, after I got home.
This is the longest distance the bike club has gone, beating the record set last week by almost 15 km.
