My mojo is still distinctly absent, but without this challenge I wouldn't even have done this much. I've had a few shorter rides between, but not many.
A friend and I have also agreed that we will do an imperial century this year. Her first. I've done a few, but not for a couple of years (and never more than one in a year!). So need to get my arse on the saddle more!
