Iron Ride Steel

Really well organised event. Loads of helpers and signage, just about every blind right turn and major junction had someone posted to wave cyclists through.

Had planned to ride the longer Titanium route, but got a puncture within ½ a mile of the start. Fixed the puncture, cycled back to the start and bought a new inner tube. Then restarted the sportive, but switched to the shorter 'Steel' route.

Felt strong, and hoped to catch a group on the early hills, but everyone had split into slow groups of 1 and 2. Eventually caught a decent paced rider after 50 miles. Perfect - the last 30 miles were a headwind, we took turns all the way to the finish.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course

    Best format for turn by turn directions on Edge 500, 510. Will provide true turn by turn navigation on Edge 800, 810, 1000, Touring including custom cue entries. Great for training when we release those features. Not currently optimal for Virtual Partner.
