Got talked into doing the Belfast Dublin Maracycle at the weekend. 108 down on the Saturday and 108 mile back on Sunday.
Saturday was very very tough. We were into a cold stiff headwind all the way down and there were quite a lot of hills in the last third of the route. I and the lads I did it with were all knackered when we arrived and I was having severe doubts as to whether I could do it all again the next day.
However come Sunday morning I felt a lot better, the sun was in and out and it a bit warmer. Also we knew now what we had to do.
We really enjoyed the way back and did the return journey in about 3/4 of an hour less than the 1st day.
I had only got my bike in February and the furthest I had done before was 70 miles so I was well pleased that the weekend went ok.
