Missing My Garmin

Feb0720124:26 p.m.

Still haven't shelled out the £80 for a repair, because I really want to invest in a 310XT (actually, it would be far nicer if by some miracle I came to own one free of charger, but that is highly unlikely) so, spending on a repair pushes what I really want further away. But I am missing it.

Winding my way through appealing looking country lanes is a far more pleasant way to enjoy my cycling than doing battle with tin boxes on the main roads, but after 50 miles of it how the bloody hell am I supposed to remember where I've been?

Yep, missing my Garmin.

This 50 miler though, despite being a little hillier than the last one was certainly easier. Could it be thanks to a Snickers bar?

Quite scary to think I'll likely only get another 3 long rides befor its time to tackle the 80 miler. I felt like I could have done a bit more today, but another 2hours, hmmm Undecided??
