The Rapha Festive 500

Pretty tough doing it in Spain...

To be fair, this loop could've been covered in snow - out bailout plan was to get pissed up wandering Valencia.

Serious kudos to anyone getting the full 500 done this year. Some of the days have been grim. I managed just over 100km.

Pas Normal have a 1250km in January challenge, might jump on that for a bit of new year motivation. You can win a £1000 voucher for their stuff, which at their prices might get you some bibs and socks lol

I did 21km on a MTB and I think I deserve a medal

I did it a few hundred kms south from you (Cartagena) :)

I think this was the most kms I covered in a calendar week, and also a maaassive volume of cycling to what this half-assed, swim/run focused triathlon training this fall has been. 700kms in 13 days.

I CBA with cycling much, but I did do 2 parkruns over the week

We finished in 7days - wife stopped crying when we found the missing ride on Strava

You're the real winner

Well done and Garmin?

What were the temps like down there? Mostly sunny days in short sleeves for us but very cold (-5C I guess at some points) in the night and mornings until the sun had done its job.

Not nice enough for short sleeves, defo needed layers & leg warmers some day. Between 13-16C, so not (full on) complaining, but this time last year it was all short sleeves. At night only went down to about 9C-ish, but I would have traded it for the warm days!

Hello darkness my old friend.
