Deciding to join the metric half century challenge for 2017 meant that I was really keen to make a great start to the year so got my first 50k ride under my belt yesterday
even though it started raining as soon as I left the house and only cleared up for about 5 miles in the middle of the ride. I never saw another cyclist out and about, I guess everyone else had more sense and was tucked up and home in front of a nice warm fire. I was cold, wet and weary when I returned home, BUT I was the fastest cyclist of the year on EVERY one of the segments that I covered yesterday!! Go me!!!!
