I did experience some boredom yesterday. Felt like a bit of a box ticking exercise and was having doubts about the whole RRtY thing. Something like why I was still doing this if I've done it so many times already. Answer: because I really like it. But it wore off after a couple of hours and I was enjoying the scenery again. I also stopped at the designated controls to give it that calendar ride feel.
I started RRtY in January and it has meant that I've got those months out of the way and also put me in good shape for when the weather got nicer. You just sort of stay topped up as it were fitness wise. The best part about getting fitter is that you can ride out to events rather than relying on trains; something I wouldn't have considered last year.
