I was going to do 50 or so after work tomorrow night; a nice little night-time adventure illuminated by bike lights. But the weather forecast this morning told me that I wasn’t going to do that.
So, with dry weather on the cards this afternoon at least, I thought I’d leave early today and do a Twycrosser. I’d normally give my knees a day off the day following a ride, but I only did 18.6 yesterday and only planned to do about 25 today.
Nice weather for it, not too blowy and not cold. Conditions very dry. I would have taken the X probably but wanted to check the accuracy of the new wireless bike computer on the Boardman now I’ve calibrated it.
A fairly standard route of intermediate length. Nice run out. Stopped to take a pic between Sheepy and Sibson.
The bike computer did good. It recorded the track at about 27.46 miles, compared to the phone’s 27.40. Nonetheless I should be able to get it a bit more accurate. One thing I do like about these Chinese touch screen units is that you can set the wheel circumference in mm.
It’s currently set to 2126mm, so I need to set it to 27.40 / 27.46 * 2126 = 2121 (rounding to the nearest mm).

That’s 8 in a row on the Boardman now.
157 this month, decent progress so far. The weather looks mostly iffy for a while, though.
