21/5/17 102 miles on Boudicca Sportive, 4 points. Snetterton to Docking and back, new personal record for longest distance, new personal record for amount of climbing, New personal 40 km record at silly speed at the start of ride when riding with rest of the club. Aaaah Garmin why do you tell me these things, just enjoy the ride Settled down after first food stop and enjoyed the ride. Absolutely gorgeous day and a lovely route. If I think back to November I was happy with a 20 mile ride, boy am I addicted!
