Doing this this year, following from having done 100km rides Oct, Nov and Dec last year, good incentive to keep going.

Decided to loop out from the Wirral into North Wales, as it was a gorgeous day, up to the top of the Moel y Gaer, looking over to Moel Famau. Had to turn back as I was running short on time, had DIY to do at home :wacko:

Coming back into Chester down the greenway when my seat post bolt decided that Seppuku was the only viable option. Slightly odd ride into town. New seatpost bolt, coffee then home.

Long way of saying, January is in the bag.

@si_c Hope the culmination of your ride was just odd rather than painful, but as a 6'5" stomper you were probably OK. It would be great if we could all see what date you did this ride and how far it was (without having to open your link), as per OP.
