Slightly different 50km for me this time all XC on my MTB. Going to try and do the 50 challenge all off road this year.
Jan 5th 40 miles Marriott way
Feb 3rd
Filthiest ride yet 53-11 MTB to Whitwell 33 miles
March 10th
Another filthy ride with one off to Reepham along Marriots way and back
40 miles
Very hot ride and lumpy inGran Canaria along the coast. 32 miles

5th May determined not to be the last this month. Good to be riding in short sleeves and shorts again. 33 mile mtb ride to Whitwell and back from Thorpe St Andrew.
