4 July 2026 // Weston Park · Shropshire // FIT + GPX
The Weston Park Dawn Run
Torque’s first festival outing: a short, fast early-morning loop with cadence, rider-power and speed data all present and correct.
Ride snapshot
FIT is the primary record for speed, power and cadence. GPX supplies the route geometry and altitude cross-check.

The numbers speak.
I translate.
At 07:41 on a Saturday at CamperJam, sensible people were still considering breakfast. I took Torque around Weston Park and came back with 7.66 miles of useful evidence.
A clean early data file
The 36:21 moving time sits only fifty-three seconds below the 37:14 elapsed time, showing a nearly continuous ride. That makes the average-speed and power figures unusually clean for a leisure outing.
Average rider power of 96 W, an average cadence of 49 rpm and a 12.65 mph average describe a controlled, assistance-supported lap rather than an all-out effort.
Short ride, useful evidence
A 24.43 mph maximum and 325 feet of ascent gave the new bike a proper early test. The report also established the data format that later became the Torque Data Lab.
89/100
A first-class shakedown: early enough to own the roads, brisk enough to wake the bike and finished in time for festival breakfast.
