Perfect riding weather after work. Set myself a two hour target to do the short Test Valley loop. Once as far as Hursley, the traffic all but disappeared and I had the lanes to myself. I like this short loop a lot. I will aim for 1:50:00 next week.
I've read that I should be consuming a gram of carbohydrate per kilo of bodyweight per hour which is much more than I'm consuming at the moment. I managed barely half that by indulging a jam-tart every 30 minutes. I going to buy some squeezy energy gels to supplement my food.

How are you getting your ride statistics? A Garmin Edge or somesuch? I have an Edge 705 and the Calories readings are bananas, aren't they? Nowhere near the truth, surely. Any idea what the conversion factor is from Garmin World to reality?
I'm using a 305. I don't take them literally but look at them relatively. There's a nice calculation table here:

Which makes the Garmin results look overestimated by about 20%
