Longest distance (48.5km) and highest top speed (61.2kp/h) achieved today. I wonder if this route would be faster if I did it the opposite direction?

    Wow I don't think I've ever hit that max speed! I'm pretty sure if I did it would be as i was shimmying out of control around a corner! Congratulations on your ride :)

    Yes faster in the other direction for sure....if you hammer the first uphill. Use you energy on the hills. There is little speed/time to be gain going down and pedaling moderate. The last up hill will also require so effort.

    Now off to ride 100 miles.

    Let us know how it goes

    Same here. I like that steep climb towards the end to finish things off with a steady descent to cool down.
