Due to a lack of cycling over Christmas, I won't be finishing the 500 this year. I did keep a friend company yesterday, who is going to hit the 500km mark easily, and did what he described as a 'cheeky century' - imperial not metric. It turned out not the be the best day for me - said friend is currently enjoying a period of funemployment and has been training 3 times a week with one of the local semi-pros, so is currently making butchers' dogs look at him admiringly. I also had two punctures, during the first of which I lost my case with all my essential bits and pieces in it, including my house keys.
After that I was totally knackered, so I've said sod it, and rather than trying to put in big miles today I've gone to the velodrome to smash it up for a couple of hours.
