Did you go for it? I'm in a state of suspense! Hope it went well for you.

Ah, just seen earlier post

Not to worry @EbonyWillow I took your place - just tied my hair in a ponytail and donned the fetching pink number - have had a couple of comments already about how I've (you've) grown - no one can remember you as being 6 foot 3 and having hairy legs!!

Ok...time to fess up...I didn't go I decided that I wouldn't have enjoyed it as I would have slogged my way round reproaching myself for not getting enough training in and holding everyone up. So today will be spent meal planning, shopping and prepping for the 2/3stone I desperately need to get off!! Will get out on the bike for a bit later and spend some time with the family. I really appreciated all your support to get me out there! My goal this year was to ride my first 100 which I did last week so I am happy with that. Over winter I am planning some cross training to shift the weight so I can get stuck in to hills next year! I have plenty to practise on locally and my goal for next year may be tackling Hardknott and Wrynose Thanks again you fab lot

Totally in awe of the 100 miles (newbie who's only managed a quarter of that so far). There aren't really any proper hills where I live so I can't imagine what that Sportive would have been like
Don't beat yourself up about it, it will probably only make you more determined for the future

Hope you did me proud and got me a decent mph average As I am 5'2" I can imagine 'I' suprised a few people lol.

Hang in there and you will be doing 100 before you know it!! It's a gorgeous day here and really missing being out there but knowing I would have struggled badly is spurring me on to sort the eating and get some hill training in!! All for turning a positive into a negative!!!
