First outing on the road bike

Circular route taking in Long Eaton - Sawley - Lockington - Hemington - Castle Donington - Kings Newton - Swarkstone Bridge - Weston on Trent - Aston on Trent - Shardlow - Sawley - Long Eaton.

Distance = 29.0 miles
Time = 1 hrs 50 mins
Ave Speed = 16.1 mph
Top Speed = 37.5 mph
Weather = Sunny Spells, dry, 30c

MTB = 547.6
Road Bike = 29.0
Total Milage = 576.6


How much more efficiant is riding a road bike!!! Hills were a bit more of a shock with different gearing but much easier to 'power' up due to the weight of the bike I suppose, can't wait to get out again, loved it :)

View route minus a couple of diversions on Bikely
