I did it!!! I think once I've recovered I'll feel prouder of myself, but at the moment I'm just exhausted and famished.
Much of it was cycling into the wind, which was not much fun. Most drivers were considerate, barring the daft old bat who didn't see me at a mini roundabout (despite my bright pink attire) and the horrid man in a transit who shouted "come on fatty" as I struggled up a hill.
Slight detour because a road turned out to be a dead end, so I added a couple of extra miles on.
Main lesson from today: EAT MORE FIRST. One slice of weight watchers toast (no butter) and a banana is nowhere near enough to go out on. I ran out of energy part way around and really struggled the last few miles because I just had nothing left.
But I did it. 12.3 miles.
God I fancy chips now.
