My first metric century

Haha. Must be sort of a bit soul destroying circumnavigating the bulk of the coastline then thinking you have the case cracked as you freewheel into North Devon only to find the reality of it all a tad different???

North Somerset, then North Devon, then North Cornwall: there is some serious stuff there. Porlock, into and out of Lynmouth, and Porthtowan to name but 3. We did Porthtowan hill by mistake on our Lejog 3 years ago, because a really really funny local told us it was the quick way to our B&B and that it was flat. My how we laughed........

Just checked Big Nick and I was out and on Black Horse Lane last Wednesday If I did indeed whoosh past you I was heading home in double quick order and it was probably summat to do with the Lamb Bhuna I had Tuesday night.

Definitely drink more water on a ride this long - this is likely to explain the cramping.

Aha! Well let's see you do that again next week when you can say hello to my little friend 'Mr Bianchi road bike'!!

Well done from me... as other poster have said eat and drink more, but I bet you will find the next metric 100 will be easier because in your head its a mile stone and you have broke it.. Bit like a steep hill, once you have done it its easier the next time?
