On the way hone from the chiltern hundred. 105 miles of relentless short sharp climbs. Having not been riding much recently and having not slept (a mix of nerves and excitement I think... Yes, lame I know), I struggled at the start. However after about 30 miles settled into a good rhythm and regained by climbing legs of yore. Countered the lack of sleep through the consumption of more energy products than I've got through in a while. My teeth now feel like they're going to fall out, but also means I managed a respectable time of 6.15ish
Mega props to the organisers, verulam cc, for superb feed stations, signage and general sorting of stuff. It was a beautiful route and a great day for it. Dragon ride next weekend... Oh dear.
Will sort out strava links later so that noone can look at it
