For Wednesday and Thursday last week I decided to try what I had failed to manage in 2017: riding to Arctangent festival in Bristol with one overnight stop.
Last year I got to near Gloucester on the first day, camped, then woke up with horrific knee pain and got the train to Bristol and rode the last 26km. So ~159 + 8 to Gloucester + 26 to festival = just under 200km.
This year I got to just outside of Cheltenham on the first day - ~201km, then managed the rest of the way on the second, only missing one band I wanted to see - ~130km. It was so gratifying to set myself a challenge and meet it. I was absolutely ruined for the festival - exhausted and got ill, with sore (still recovering now) knees, but it was still a great time.
