November
Slightly different 50 km on the race track at Snetterton. I’ve now completed a year of 50 km challenges, one more next month for calendar year. Who would have thought it last October when I accidentally did my first ever 50km and someone mentioned this. It has a lot to answer for but all good. Just about at 6000 miles this year, I’m a changed man. Thanks for all the help and support on here.
