The Rapha Festive 500

Fixed as well for me, again the weather here in S Wales looks good.
Hopefully 150 km today to kick start it........

Not a great start, up at 6 for an early ride and met with thick drizzle, so sacked it off for a tea.. maybe this afternoon...

Best of luck to everyone starting today 🤘I hope everyone achieves what they want!

I’ve completed this since it began with out too many issues. This year hasn’t been great on the bike, a broken arm in May and developing an autoimmune disease has really killed my mileage. I expect it to be a proper challenge this year,

Anyway I’m ahead of the game just with 82 kms this morning.

A surprise overnighter in the hospital with one of the kids means I wasn’t able to do the 120km to Suffolk this morning and now won’t do the ride back/have a bike available until the 29th so looking impossible this year. Good luck to all of you doing it this year, weather isn’t looking too bad

Hope your little one’s feeling better.

115k ticked off today in a blustery, but mild jaunt down to Severn Beach. Now for a mince pie

Cheers mate, he’s out now and seems to be on the mend. Christmas is go

Hope you have a better '25.

Probably haven't ridden 500k all year.
Next year. Next year...

Ditto. Sad state of affairs

Glad to hear. Like exams, just cram it all in last minute (on Zwift)

Allegaert at it again

150 km on Christmas Eve and 50 km today. The no rain forecast is as annoying as the permanent muzzle / cloud , warm but soaking.
Possibly day off tomorrow or 50km if bored in the afternoon.

Starting tomorrow 😂

Same here. 2 days of family obligations, looking forward to hours of drizzle the coming days.
