Hard Day in January '17

I've lifted some words from Stelle, an epic rider who did HDinJ six years ago.. it's all true..

For some reason, clubmen like Chris and Jeff aren't being bred any more. That world of the racingmen (and women) who used to take to the roads of Britain, time-trialling and testing their way through the year - that no longer captures the imagination. I'm pleased to have ridden this in the spirit in which it was intended, and I would only urge you all to do the same next year. This is a ride that is hard of spirit but wholly rewarding in every way.

inspired, i rode the following year, I think back how it was and clocked 120 miles and awarded most suffered rider that year.
No regrets, great club ride, great support and sense of achievement, it's hard not being there each year. So in 2018 I hope to celebrate my half century in style with another memorable ride that is known as the Hardest Day in January
