Here we go for April's effort; a nice ride around the Vale of Evesham on the Blossom Trail Bikeaway for St John's Ambulance. Including riding to and from the venue I clocked up a bit more than 100 klicks. It might have gone better if I'd been properly bike fit. If I had been I might have done better than 23 kph average.
