First ride of the Rapha Festive 500. I decked myself out in every piece of Rapha kit I own and took off into the cold.
Got 92km in before I gave up due to ridiculous headwinds. I was hoping for almost double that (an imperial century). Fuck.
On the ride I experienced subzero temperatures, rain, sleet, snow, the aforementioned head (and side) winds... and...
Delicious cake! Festive 500 indeed.
