Finished it off today with 100k (inc 85k around Regents Park). All outside.

Not going long on the 24th made the last few days pretty tough. Good to have something making me ride, though. I’ll be starting January in a completely different position to last year, which bodes well for riding in the summer.

My 4 long days included lots of Regent's Park. Uninteresting but it helps motivation during the 10 - 15, laps you're likely to have done, as I did, and found chasing faster riders kept my speed up.

Front loading mileage is also the way to go. Choosing flattish routes is also a great win!!!

I think it was 19 laps. But only the last few were a drag. I had company for the first few and then I drifted around some fast groups and enjoyed a few pace lines. It was a lot more fun than the previous day’s grind out into Essex.
