Guess who just rode his first ever 300k.. fixed.. with a fscking bag on? Yeah.. this mofo. I was fucking wrecked. Actually feel good now I've eaten everything in sight. I got home with 290k on the clock (WAC!), said hi to Mal, grabbed a mouthful of sweets and raced around Ealing until I'd added another dozen to make the 300. :)
Over 3000 members and we only get 20-30 riders doing this? Unless you have a good excuse.. there's a shitload of HTFU missing from you bunch of weaklings! If kids can do it.. no reason you can't. Miss it next year and you should consider trading your bikes for chess sets. :P
Thanks everyone for smiling and making the riding fun. Nice to meet some new peeps (Moose and Jacqui spring to mind).
Special props to Stompy who appeared to be shitloads faster this year and to Sam, who, with fsck all training, joined me for a ride back to Ipswich. He was on 250k+ when I left him at Liverpool St. Well done mate!
This year was fucking cool. So much nicer riding! Lower gearing, better weather, still got a sore arse but nowhere near as bad, actually light due to the moon, candles were out. Sweet!
