that seems like a nice pace for 100 miles fixed on your own (with rain and punctures and cunts, even)
I think I understand what you felt about the "purely numerical goals" or at least have been somewhere similar before, but what else are we to do with our time on this earth? It seems the ride had meaning for you, or you wrote some nice words about it either way so probably worth it!
But having been in a same-ish or at least vaguely related place with how I approached taking my bike out before, I've also found that I'm able to chill out more now, because I know that I am able to tough it out if I really want to. I do still have to tell the wind to go get fucked tho sometimes (often).
Anyway, even if we forget all that, this is absolutely some straight hardman riding, well done. And you even got an excuse to take a day off work?
