the longest ride of my life

Last week went well. Pretty much fitted everything in - but instead of a 3 hour and 4 hour ride on Sat and Sun, I did an 8 hour ride and then a 1.5 hour ride. Dunno why.

But managed a 112 mile ride in 8 hours (6 hours 50 mins moving). Which averaged about 16.4 mph over the journey when moving. Then did 27 miles next day warm down.

Back in the saddle tonight. Should be going to a l'etape meeting tomorrow night to find out more, hopefully will see Fran there.

Oh, and my race number arrived in the post. In the guide it mentions how many people underestimate the itinerary of l'etape, which I take to mean 'don't realise how hard it is...'
