Had a pretty busy weekend of cycling. Saturday I reduced my 25 mile pb to 58.27 (which is still poor.)
Please excuse my awful helmet potition in this photo.

Followed it up today with my club's hilly 100 mile audax. Started off with the fast boys and did silly things like racing up hills but started to suffer a bit so got dropped on the flatter section. Switched my wheel around from the 18t to the 19t and spun along on my tod for a bit, before I got caught by the second group. Dragged them along for about 10 miles, then got my second puncture (never use planet x tubes, three splits right along the seam), and they left me to deal with it. Got gifted a tube from another club member, and then took it easy for the rest of the ride playing cat and mouse with a few other guys. Second hilly section at 75 miles nearly finished me off and I was running on vapour for the last 5 miles, but happy to finish with a 17+mph average and get another fixed century in the bag.
