1The descent

From 6.9 km to 7.3 km

0.4 km · -7.9% average · 52 km/h at the fastest · 40.1 km/h average · 152 bpm, peaking at 164

Your heart rate stayed high all the way down the descent at Asthall, suggesting you were still putting in a shift rather than letting the gradient take you to 52 km/h.

2The steep pitch

From 18.5 km to 18.6 km

0.1 km · +8.8% average · 13.6 km/h · 139 bpm, peaking at 144

That short, sharp ramp up to Whiteoak Green caught you late in the ride, but keeping the speed at fourteen kilometres per hour shows you chose a steady rhythm rather than trying to punch over the top.
