Well... some old friends were riding this morning so I couldn't pass up the opportunity & had to shift the schedule around a bit.
So, after a 4hr 15min ride (120km in the hills - felt great!), I rested on the sofa for a couple of hours then jogged over to the gym treadmill. 1% gradient.
16:38... which I thought was ok? First 3km @ 18k/h, then ramped it up to 18.3k for 1.5km, then last 0.5km at 20kph for the big finish.
Useful thing about the treadmill is I could get accurate HR data.
