Leamington to Wendover

I completed a training ride from Leamington Spa to my sister's house in Wendover, Bucks.  I departed soon after first light and completed a total of 65 miles in five and half hours elapsed time at a moving average of 14.1 mph.  When I arrived, the weather was warm so I had a swim in my sister's outdoor pool.  Not quite an ice bath, but cool all the same!

The Google Maps cycle route was great, including riding across grassy parkland in Aylesbury.  Top tip: if Google plans alternate routes, GPS Visualiser will arbitrarily pick up the first of them and I could find no way to choose which to save as a route.  To avoid this, add an interim destination to force Google to plan just one route (which GPS Visualiser will output as two parts).
