I don't remember that, but since that is my default mode I'll accept it.

And completed. A wind assisted ride out to Skegness. Just a boring 3 hour train journey home to do now, oh and the short ride from the station. Averaged 17.8 mph, amazing what flatness and wind can do.

Well done on another year.

Ps I'm a big fan of wind assistance on these rides

20 minutes from Leicester! It might have been an easy ride but a one way ride makes it a long day.

That's me done as well , Ive had a bad month with a death in the family and family stuff that's surrounds a death my head wasn't really in the game for a big ride ,So I hatched a plan to ride out to Market Bosworth and do loops like I had done during COVID giving lots of bail out points but thankfully I managed to keep turning away from home to get to 103 miles , Would have put the pressure on if I hadn't done it today with upcoming events restricting riding time

A like for the ride, not the crap you are dealing with. If you want an unsympathetic ear, give me a buzz.

Well that was bloomin' hard work. I was woken up by the wind and thought best I just turn over and go back to sleep. But dragged my arse up and into cycling gear. Having brekkie I read that a friend of mine had to bail this morning due to a mechanical and lack of motivation. That nearly did it for me. But nope.. out into the inky blackness at 7am with the bike. Down to Ashford on country lanes for brunch and a return via the lovely Wye valley.
The winds were swirling and blustery pretty much all the day with the return blighted by headwinds. It made for slow, plodding progress. A short, freezing rain shower at 3pm didn't help. But I got it done.
14th calender year in a row of the Imperial Century a Month challenge done and dusted. 2025 is around the corner and it starts again.
So..scores on the doors
101 miles for the day.
Gold Star #14
Century month #149 in a row
Century #347
