Hi
Took the plunge today and just kept on pedalling. End up at 35 miles. The ride was beautiful this morning. Almost zero wind and mostly lovely sunshine.

Two issues got in the way of it being perfect:
Front disc calliper seems to have developed a rubbing/squeaking issue that could only be temporarily alleviated by squeezing the front brake, constantly slowing me down. Talk about a pain the the backside.
Second - my first clipless moment. In a single track road, close to finish, I slowed to allow a tractor to pass me. Unfortunately for me it was turning into the turn in which I had slowed down. Ended with me failing to unclip and sprawling all over the road. Of course it had to be in front of a queue of 3 other cars!
Despite that, it was a lovely ride and beat my previous best distance by 12 miles.
Cheers
